--- Comment #4 from Julien Nabet <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Stephan Bergmann from comment #3) > On macOS, you need to install a JDK (not just a JRE), and the path P you add > on the LibreOffice Advanced Options tab must be such that > P/lib/server/libjvm.dylib exists and is of the correct CPU architecture > (i.e., in your case `file .../lib/server/libjvm.dylib` should report > something like "Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64"). Just for curiosity: 1) do we need a JDK just for macOS or for all envs? 2) if I remember well the main difference between JRE and JDK is JRE you can use class file ("pseudo-compiled" .java file) and JDK allows do "pseudo-compile" java files in class. So why do we need JDK? Isn't the goal just to use Java class files ? 3) if it's specific to macOS, since we got specific STR_ERROR_JVMCREATIONFAILED_MAC in include/svtools/strings.hrc, perhaps we may change this: 268 #define STR_ERROR_JVMCREATIONFAILED_MAC NC_("STR_ERROR_JVMCREATIONFAILED_MAC", "%PRODUCTNAME requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under %PRODUCTNAME - Preferences - %PRODUCTNAME - Advanced.") into: 268 #define STR_ERROR_JVMCREATIONFAILED_MAC NC_("STR_ERROR_JVMCREATIONFAILED_MAC", "%PRODUCTNAME requires a Java Development Kit (JDK) to perform this task. The selected JDK is defective. Please select another version or install a new JDK and select it under %PRODUCTNAME - Preferences - %PRODUCTNAME - Advanced.") ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
