I keep hearing that the newer version may be slower to do the work.
As for version 7, I have not used it. Linux version appear to use
OpenJDK instead of the normal Oracle JRE. They have it part of their
repositories, but you can find a Windows installer by Google-ing for one.
I have run my Vista laptop version of LO with version 6 update 23. I
was told that the JRE goes downhill with speed of use after that.
Some say update 21 might be the best one to use, for now. Some like
OpenJDK instead of the JRE, while some do not.
LO people are working on converting the codes that need Java to ones
that do not need it. Some extension will still require it though. To
be honest, would you want your software package to work based upon
someone else's software "package" to work? I.E., when they have
issues, then you would as well?
Now that OOo no longer is part of Oracle's product line, will Apache
continue to use the JRE as part of the package, or will they go LO's
route and replace the coding that require it. I believe LO is
replacing some of that code with Python based code instead of Java based.
Many thanks for this further information. I'll fetch LO 3.4.3 and
install it. For the present, I'll leave jre 6u19 in place, and look for
a Windows version of Open JDK to replace Oracle Java.
I'll be pleased to leave Oracle to its own money-grubbing devices.
With Warmest Regards
