Tom,

No. You've misunderstood the whole Java JRE and BASE HSQLDB performance issue. 
Problem is not and never was with the Sun/Oracle Java JRE. The past problem 
with LibO and OOo HSQLDB performance was with process thread creation in the 
LibO/OOo JDBC interface.

The dev patch (by Stephen Bergmann) for Bug 35023 "Base functions extremely 
slowly with Java 1.6.0_20 and >1.6.0_24" has been applied to the 3.5.0 core, 
and may make it into 3.4.6; but use of a 1.6u21 JRE was only a work around for 
LibO's BASE native HSQLDB 1.8 performance issues as that version of the JRE 
handled needed threads differently. 

Use of Java JRE 1.7 (with Oracle Corp ownership strings) was back ported to 
3.4.5--so no issue there. Look for issues with spell check elsewhere.

Hi :)
I know LibreOffice 3.5.0 can use java 1.7 but i doubt that has been back-ported 
to all other releases that people are using out there.  Java is going to be a 
problem until we can get rid of any dependence on it completely.  It's not our 
devs fault that Oracle can't write something that isn't broken and vulnerable 
before Oracle release it. Regards from Tom :)

Tom,

It is buried down in the Dev list, but the LibO BASE JDBC performance issues 
with the Java JRE are fixed by changes to the JDBC driver to reduce JNI 
Attach/DetachThread cycles, the 35023 bug 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35023 ) is closed.

We should no longer be pusing the JRE 1.6u21--current JRE 1.6u31 or 1.7u3 are 
fully acceptable.

Look elseware for the issue with spell check.

Stuart
