I installed the latest LibreOffice 3.4.4 release and am facing some problems with Java now ... LibO 3.4.3, which was installed before, worked perfectly. What I did: - Uninstalled LibreOffice 3.4.3 - Ran CCleaner and did some manual registry cleaning - Installed LibreOffice 3.4.4 * I customized the installation path to read "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice" and I deselected the Quickstarter - left the rest at its defaults. Upon starting LibO 3.4.4 I experienced an application fault. I moved %APPDATA%\LibreOffice to %APPDATA%\LibreOffice.backup and started LibO anew - this time it fully loaded up with tons of "requires a JRE" warnings. I did some tinkering and found out that deleting %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user\config\javasettings_Windows_x86.xml resolved the application fault - it loaded up again with several "requires a JRE" warnings. In the "Java" preferences LibO does NOT recognize the already installed Java JRE. Now, this problem happens on ... Windows 7 x64 Professional with Java JDK 7u1 (also contains the JRE) Windows 7 Home Premium (x86) with Java JDK 7u1 (also contains the JRE) The problem did NOT exist on the previous LibreOffice 3.4.3 install. Note that I can NOT switch to JDK/JRE6 as I need JDK7 installed for the Android SDK.
Jochen, The problem is only having the JDK 7 present, which is not being recognized as providing a valid JRE. Reported in Bug 39659 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39659) As a simple work around reinstall a JRE 6 release, and associate LibreOffice with it from Tools > LibreOffice > Java menu. Doing this, the JDK 7 remains undisturbed for development, and its JRE remains default for other use. Note: in choosing which JRE 6 to install, performance issues the Java JNI thread stack for OO/LO BASE occur with Java versions > 1.6u23, so suggest reinstall 1.6u20, 1.6.u21, or 1.6u22 See this bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35023 Regards, Stuart
