Tom, Great idea--paste away. Feel free to edit my ramblings since I can be a bit verbose. But it gets even better, at least on the accessibility side (remembering though that a functioning Java JRE is required for other LO components). So now, in addition to JavaFX, Oracle has bundled Java Access Bridge v2.0.3 into the JRE 1.7u6; it is installed by default but is left inactive when a patch-in-place upgrade of JRE is done. I think the toggle between JAB active and inactive is going to be an issue during LO installation and use. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/access/enable_and_test.html#enabling_jab Jamal Mazrui's JWin JAB installer isn't obsolete, probably still the way to go for a clean JAB v2.0.2 installation, especially with a JRE 1.6u34 install. But I've sent Jamal a note suggesting it might be time to rework the JWin installer. Also, I have an open bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54064 of how I think the JRE and JAB bit me during a LO 3.6.1.2 (RC2) test installation--manifested as an installer hang at java with incomplete LO user configuration build for a non-privileged user account. Haven't yet attempted to reproduce to verify--but reopened the bug for review as I believe it is a Java JRE / JAB related installation issue that will need some work. Stuart

It seems a lot of people here each know about different problems with java and it would be good to collect together some of the issues and how to work around them. So, i made the page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Java and am about to copy & paste Stuart's email into the page. Please feel free to edit to make the page more useful.
