Hi :) Back in 2011, the first several versions of Java 1.7 had compatibility issues with lots of software including LibreOffice. So that was around LO 3.4.3 and earlier. Java 1.7.0_0, Java 1.7.0_1, Java 1.7.0_2, Java 1.7.0_3 and i think Java 1.7.0_4 (maybe even 5 too) were all compromised

Hi, To make it easy... We support every java Version Oracle supports in the same flavor as LibreOffice :) [Non Tech Answer] If you have a 32 bit LibO you need a 32 bit java, same with 64 bits. Oracle Supports (for free) Java 7 and 8 (I guess), so currently Java 1.7+ (Java 7 == 1.7). If there
