JRE warning on startup ...

2012-02-15 Thread Michael Meeks 
Hi guys,

There have been a number of complaints about JRE's being required
during install, with the infamous and horribly unpleasant:

LibreOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to
 perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart
 LibreOffice

IMHO - showing this is utterly unacceptable; and I finally lost
patience with it :-)

Since we switched ~everything to passive registration, I believe this
comes from the bundled extension help indexing on very-first-start.

IMHO it would be far better to have no help for the couple of
extensions we bundle, rather than this hideous first-start user
experience.

Then again, prolly we can throw this exception down the plughole in the
help indexer. Pushed to the TSC agenda ...

HTH,

Michael.

So, if its the case that its from extension help indexing, then this
would probably be from xmlhelp/source/cxxhelp/provider/databases.cxx and
search for com.sun.star.help.HelpIndexer 

Thing is though, is that the extension-help indexer should only be run
if there is help but no foo.idxl pre-created index set of files, at
least since my recent look at help that's what I thought I saw.

And the bundled-extensions that comes with help, at least
presenter-screen, and so forth are supposed to come with .idxl files
which are created at build-time, so they shouldn't need to generate any
index files.

And anyway, I got the impression that even if there is no .idxl file
that it would only be generated on first help query or some such.
