Description: I upgraded from Libreoffice 6.3.5.2 to 6.4.6.2. Now Libreoffice cries that an JRE should be selected. But there is no JRE selectable in the options window. Now Libreoffice is starting and working but it looks something like simple rendering. What must be done now? Steps to Reproduce: Start Libreoffice and go to the options of the JRE. Actual Results: No JRE selectable. The previous version of Libreoffice did run without any problem. Expected Results: Upgrade should not produce this problem. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.4.6.2 Build-ID: 0ce51a4fd21bff07a5c061082cc82c5ed232f115 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Linux 3.16; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: x11; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: CL OpenGl makes no difference.

From 6.4, Java min version is 1.8, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.4
Ah - O.K. Thanks. But how it is running now? Fallback to the installed version? It would be helpful to give a better notice to the user. Like "Your Java JRE is to old."
Either install Java 8 (or more recent version) or revert back to previous LO version. About warning, yes it could be interesting to add a popup warn but release notes are here for this too and Java 8 is already a bit old for nowadays standard.
