Hi :) That is a bit disappointing to hear but it's good to know. Thanks for reporting it!
According to http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/ (about 3/4th of the way through in "other" just before "ODF 1.2 Conforming Documents") one of the advantages of the 3.5.x branch is that it can supposedly handle Java 7. Have you tried versions earlier than the 1.7u4? In the release notes it suggests that openJDK might be better, for Gnu&Linux users, than the "GCJ" variant. OpenJDK is still run by Oracle but apparently it has a good community behind it aswell. It might be worth posting a bug-report about the java 7 not working on Windows. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport Apols and regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 15/5/12, steelej <[email protected]> wrote: From: steelej <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Base and Java 1.7 - does not work To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 15 May, 2012, 23:09 I have been a happy user of LO for a long time but have just started to explore Base. I have been unable to get Base to work with the latest JRE on Windows Vista or on W7. When I select this version in the Java options it fails to recognise that it is a valid JRE. Environments used for testing Base appears to run with Java 1.6.0_32 on 32 bit W7 using LO 5.3.3 but not with 1.7.0_04. This version is a Virtual Machine Base also runs (more extensive testing) with LO 3.5.2.2 using Java 1.6.0_31 on a 32 bit Vista but fails to run if I select 1.7.0_04. On the first occasion I tried on this environment LO crashed completely and would not start - I had to go into the xml configuration file and remove the reference to Java there. Is there a known bug associated with the latest version of Java? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Base-and-Java-1-7-does-not-work-tp3984060.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
