            Bug ID: 115002
           Summary: Include required bitness information into "Java
                    missing" messages on Windows
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Strings for missing or invalid Java (see STR_WARNING_JAVANOTFOUND and friends
in include/svtools/strings.hrc) don't contain information about which bitness
should be the required Java. But at least for Windows, this is essential, as
endless duplicate questions on AskLibO show. As Oracle's Java site doesn't make
it obvious for non-geeks that Java offered for download isn't the only one
possible choice, people don't realize that we don't need *any* Java, but of
specific bitness.

The proposal is to add the bitness information to "Java missing" messages on
Windows, like this:

> %PRODUCTNAME requires a 64-bit Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this 
> task.
> Please install a 64-bit JRE and restart %PRODUCTNAME.

The 64-bit (32-bit) should only be added to Windows builds, as it seems that
there's no such problem on other OSes.
