After updating my 7.4 series (I think it was 7.4.5) to 7.4.7 I see a message that Java is not detected, and I should install and select one. However I have Oracle Java 8 Update 371 for x86 and x86_64 installed. When I open die dialog to select Java, no Java is detected. Version: 7.4.7.2 (x86) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 723314e595e8007d3cf785c16538505a1c878ca5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded
I had to add the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre-1.8 manually.

If the Java was OK for the older 7.4 version, wouldn't it be a regression if it's no longer OK or detected in the recent 7.4 version? Also: My Java is updating itself periodically, and I did not see a message that the version is obsolete. So I assume my version is "new enough". When I tried to check the state at java.com I got: "This site https://www.java.com/ is experiencing technical difficulty." Oh well... Try another time.
I upgraded from Java 8, Update 361 to Java 8, Update 371. After that, the JRE was not shown in the Tools - LibreOffice - Advanced window, and any attempt to "Add" resulted in an error message: "The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment. Please select a different folder" Tested with: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f3aab159f1c1e00c25e6b4ca1e50813bc343f4f3 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: da-DK (da_DK); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded (same problem with 7.2.7.2 as well) No problems with Java 8, Update 361
Additional information: Update in comment 4 was done using the update button in the Java application. Later, I removed Java and manually installed the 64-bit version of Java Version 8 Update 371, and then it appeared in both versions of LO mentioned in comment 4. Maybe NOTOURBUG -- if the Java update is installing the wrong version of Java.
