Hi,
I found this phrase on page 216 rather misleading:
Windows' version of JRE can not be used, while there are other
versions that can.
Could you clarify?
Best wishes

Perhaps this may be "outdated". When this was first written,
Microsoft included a version of Java with their windows operating
systems. There was even a law suit between Microsoft and Sum
Microsystems over this. It was the Microsoft version of Java that
could not be used by Openoffice because of what they could not include
in Java because of the verdict of the law suit. The same can be said
about LibreOffice.
Perhaps you could tell me. From my recent research, Microsoft no
longer produces their own version of Java. Is this true? If so, then
the quote needs to be changed to:
"Some of the components of LibreOffice require JRE (Java
Runtime Environment). For these you can install Java from
www.java.com, Java from IBM, or openjdk."
Does this statement makes more sense?

Hi Dan,
Microsoft JVM ? That was abandoned 10 years ago ...

I do not think the IBM JRE for Windows is easily available. I know you
can get the Windwos SDK with eclipse from the IBM website, but I think
you cannot download it separately, YMMV.
Let's stick to Oracle java.com and keep it simple.
