Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Never-mind: persistence paid off (JRE for LO 3.3)

[Xisco Fauli]

Hi Ted,

JFYI, LibreOffice 3.3 from the releases repository [1] works out of the
box with the latest JDK from here [2] (Downloaded yesterday)

I hope it helps.

Regards

Submit a new bug report for LibreOffice, setting the component to 
Documentation.
Use this if you want to do it from the classic/advanced interface: 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice
