Hi :) Sorry, just noticed that java version is fairly old already.  I don't think it usually creates problems in LO 3.5.x but it used to in 3.3.x and i think in 3.4.x.  It might be worth upgrading your version of java if you do want to use java with LO.  I think the _32 is probably the most

Hi :) I think the _31 or was it the _29 was a tfn for some Apples?  Surely part of the reason for writing-out dependence on Java is the way it has become a bit of a pain over the last couple of years?  The _32 should be fine on a GnuLinux such as Ubuntu but i agree it's a good idea to avoid
