Description Alex Thurgood 2017-09-28 10:36:16 UTC

Description:
On MacOSX 10.12.6.

I have a working LibreOffice 5361 and 5412 which both recognize Oracle JDK8 (u131).
I downloaded Oracle Java JDK9 and installed it.

Neither LO 5361 nor LO 5412 find the newly installed JDK9, under LibreOffice-Preferences-Advanced.


My own daily master build (LOdev) finds JDK9 automatically.



Steps to Reproduce:
See above

Actual Results:  
Current release builds of LO do not automatically detect JDK9

Expected Results:
LO should always detect the currently installed most recent version of the JDK


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

@Stephan : one for you ?

Comment 2 Alex Thurgood 2017-09-28 11:00:43 UTC

On this page :

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

it states that the JDK9 contains a complete JRE - unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case, at least from a cursory inspection of the app bundle's contents in the JavaVirtualMachine directory.

A separate JRE download is available, but again not recognized by LO after installation.

Update : LanguageTool doesn't function with Java9. In Writer alpha 6.0, I keep getting the following error message with a right-mouse button click on a word:
