When attempting to send a document and the user clicks File and then hovers over or attempt to click Send, Writer crashes complaining about about an issue with Java either not being install or damaged. I have reinstall Java7 upt 4 several times from Oracles site both via IE's broswer and via Firefox each installation act the same way with LibreOffice Writer. The exact version is LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 Build ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80
I am experiencing the same bug. Installing Java 6 and using it for LibreOffice fixes the problem. Conclusion: Java 7 breaks LibreOffice.
I am using LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Version ID : 165a79a-7059095-e13bb37-fef39a4-9503d18
@reporter/all a) does LibO recognize JRE 7 (You can click the radio button in 'Tools -> Options -> LibO -> Java)? b) are there indications that LibO "really" recognized JRE? Please open Database VIEW in Writer,' rightclick "Bibligraphy" -> Edit -> Report -> Create with Assistant'. If that works, LibO "really" recognized your JRE. An other indicator for not recognized JRE would be "Bug 36149 - CRASH hovering over Menu "File > Send" if no JRE is available and MediaWiki Publisher installed"

Yes, you can click the radio button for either Java 6 or Java 7. > b) are there indications that LibO "really" recognized JRE? Please open > Database > VIEW in Writer,' rightclick "Bibligraphy" -> Edit -> Report -> Create with > Assistant'. If that works, LibO "really" recognized your JRE. With Java 6 this gives the error message "No valid report template was found." However, with Java 7 this gives the error message "The selected JRE is defective" (without crashing LibreOffice). This is the same message that is displayed when LibreOffice crashes after File -> Send. Note that the crash does not occur if the user interface is in "English (USA)". Also note that the crash does not occur if you go through the routine described above for testing Java (open Database VIEW in Writer, right-click "Bibliography" -> Edit -> Report -> Create with Assistant), get "The selected JRE is defective" error message, and THEN hover over File -> Send.
I think the core of the problem is a really defective or not correctly recognized JRE 7. I will do my own tests during Weekend. After some more research it might be useful to add Stephan, Caolán to CC @Dix Huit Please - add information -- concerning your PC -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language) -- Detailed Java Version -- concerning your LibO UI language, Locale setting
Related to or even DUP of "Bug 50371 - CONFIGURATION: JRE 7.x incompatibility not resolved"?
(In reply to comment #5) > I think the core of the problem is a really defective or not correctly > recognized JRE 7. I will do my own tests during Weekend. I believe so. After doing the whole uninstall/reinstall procedure described in https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50371#c15, File -> Send in Writer works normally. In particular, it is indispensable to define the JAVA_HOME variable, which the Java installer does not define but which LibreOffice apparently makes use of, even on a 32-bit system. However, Bug 36149 still occurs if I disable the JRE in Tools -> Options. > @Dix Huit > Please > - add information > -- concerning your PC An old Pentium 4 "Prescott" processor, 32 bits only, 1GB of RAM > -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language) Windows XP Home Edition, SP3, French > -- Detailed Java Version build 1.7.0_05-b05 > -- concerning your LibO UI language, Locale setting French (France) for both, but I also tested English (USA)
stephenwidmer: "Writer crashes complaining about about an issue with Java either not being install or damaged." what does that mean? the dialog box about the JRE being defective does not indicate a crash, at least in my testing. did LibreOffice actually crash for anybody here? if not, this is a duplicate of bug 50584.

Yes, it actually crashed. I was able to fix it by tweaking the Java installation as described in https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50371#c15, but please note that Oracle's Java installer does not do this by itself - user intervention is required. If you like, I can uninstall Java and test it again. Also, Bug 36149 no longer occurs for me.
I was also able to fix LibreOffice by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable, which is easier than tweaking Java. See https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50371#c25 and previous for more information.
It seems a duplicated of fdo#50584 However, don't hesitate to reopen this if you can reproduce the problem with a newer LO version (3.5.7/3.6.2 minimum). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 50584 ***
