Not very computer savvy, I'm 76 and I don't understand why versions since v7.44 will not recognise that java v20.0.2 is really installed on my M2 macbook pro. looks like I am stuck with v7.44 if using BASE, which is all the time!
Maybe an errant question, are both JDK and LibreOffice 32 or 64 bits.
Yes, as far as I know. I read the instructions for JAVA carefully, and selected the correct download, and the recommended download from LibraOffice site. both are 64 bit.
LibreOffice_7.5.5_macOS_x86-64.dmg jdk-20_macOS-aarch64_bin.dmg This is what I have installed. BASE says there is no java installed, but it definitely is. In TERMINAL Java -version gives:- Java version "20.0.2" 2023-07-18 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 20.0.2+9-78) Java Hotspot(TM) 64 bit server VM(build 20.0.2+9-78) Since it is BASE I actually installed LibraOffice for, I have reverted to version 7.4.4, which works fine, and actually accepts Java is installed Hope that helps ?
@kermit999 : could you let us know which provider of the JDK you are using, i.e. where did you download it from ? From the file name of the DMG, it sounds like an Oracle one. I'm running: openjdk 20.0.2 2023-07-18 OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-20.0.2+9 (build 20.0.2+9) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-20.0.2+9 (build 20.0.2+9, mixed mode) and Java is recognized within LO Version: 7.5.4.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.4; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded By chance, are you using the LO app provided through the AppStore ? If so, then there is unfortunately no Java support at all in that version.

(In reply to kermit999 from comment #3) > LibreOffice_7.5.5_macOS_x86-64.dmg > jdk-20_macOS-aarch64_bin.dmg > Remove the x86_64 version of LO, and install the aarch64 version of LibreOffice instead.
Alex. Thank you for your info. I downloaded the DMG from Oracle, it must have been pointed out to me somewhere along the line, or I would have never found my way there ! (I think it was when trying to open a BASE db - a message flashed up, gave the address, sorry, I can't try it again as all is working now) As for LO, I downloaded it from their home download page.. Anyway, looking at your installed package, I searched for openjdk, and downloaded "openlogic-openjdk-17.0.8+7-mac-x64.pkg" - I installed this, and now LOv7.6.0 BASE works just fine - so far! Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction
