The dependency on Java6 is known, and will remain so until Oracle can fix a bug
in the way it instantiates the Jvm in process.

That is normal, the Java8 installation masks the Java6 installation.

LO for Osx comes with a bundled extension that requires java and this gets
activated when you open a doc or docx file.
