Stephan pointed me to old discussion in https://bugs.libreoffice.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74877 , and that is relevant also for OS X 10.10 and Java 1.8, it seems that one (sadly) really needs to install the Apple-supplied Java 1.6 in order to use an Oracle-supplied leading-edge Java (1.7 or 1.8) with LibreOffice.
