Re: [libreoffice-users] Best JRE for LibreOffice on a 64-bit system: 32 or 64 bit ?
Hi :) You might be able to turn off java completely. Tools - Options - Java Generally and for most programs it is best to have only the very newest JRE. It is always written with security flaws which we don't find out about until later. The company that produces it assures us that their newer one is safer or even sometimes say it is safe but then a month or so later tell us that we have to upgrade again because that version has horrendous vulnerabilities. So, LibreOffice is trying to write-out any need for java and at the moment it is only needed for a fwe things such as the database (if you use the default back-end that is embedded in Base), a few wizards and some extensions. Where it hasn't been written-out it seems their best version is 6_21 or on Windows 6u21 unless you are using the very newest beta-testing pre-release version of LibreOffice (the 3.5.x branch) in which case java 7_something should be best. In LibreOffice 3.3.x and 3.4.x any version higher than 6_24 created problems for a lot of people and higher numbers even made LO crash in quite a few cases. If you are using higher numbers without hassle then you can probably turn off java altogether (in LO) Just my 2cents from watching this list a lot Regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 17/1/12, Michael Bogaerts i...@bogy.be wrote: From: Michael Bogaerts i...@bogy.be Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Best JRE for LibreOffice on a 64-bit system: 32 or 64 bit ?

This has already been answered. Libreoffice is *only* 32 bit on Windows. You can NOT use a 64 bit JRE with a 32bit program. Period. So, you must use the 32bit JRE. I didn't find a source for your indication that Only 32-bit JRE works in LibreOffice for windows. There probably isn't, but it is irrelevant - yes, you can *install* a 64bit JRE, but Libreoffice can not *use* it. In fact JRE as a requirement for LibreOffice (Base or else) is not listed at all under the requirements: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/ It isn't a *requirement*, but it is necessary for certain things to operate (correctly, or at all), like for example the wizards.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Best JRE for LibreOffice on a 64-bit system: 32 or 64 bit ?
Hi :) The _21 is probably the best one for Office so don't uninstall it until you have tried out the 1.7 (if you ever get time to do that!). I think Ubuntu 10.04 LTS uses _21 (or _22 or _20 which are kinda fine too for LO). Note that there is much less problem running older versions of java in GnuLinux thn there might be in Windows although obviously nothing is completely safe, especially not java. Even in Windows LO allows you to use a different version of java than the version used by other apps. Most apps just take the latest version but LO allows you to select which one. It'd be really nice to clear ones that you are not using off the machine completely of course. Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed, 11/1/12, Don C. Myers donmy...@myersfarm.com wrote: From: Don C.
