Running latest Mac OS X 10.7.2 with JRE installed 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11M3527. Periodically LibreOffice pops up message that JRE required to perform this task. Trying to setup JRE via Preferences/Java causes taksbar to blink with some console application, then JavaPreferences control panel and then LibreOffice shows message that JRE can't be found. Possibly connect to the way Apple delivers its JRE/JDK now. It is shipped as an application bundle.
I can't reproduce this (because I have to stay with MacOS X 10.6.x for some technical reasons), but a hint: Could this be related to bug 50918? (I don't understand bug 50918 completely, therefore I can just give a hint.)
*** Bug 51536 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
"NEW" according to duplicate (bug 51536).
Slava: I think that there has been improvements in jre detection in 3.6 versions. Could you give a try to a newer version like 3.6.6 or better, 4.0.3?

Not seeing that this has independently been confirmed. Moving back to UNCONFIRMED.
@Slava : please retest with the latest supported version of LibreOffice for your Mac, and latest versions of Apple Java 6 and Oracle Java 1.8, and report back, otherwise this report is likely to be closed for lack of response.
