Apache OpenOffice and Java
David McKenna:
I tried deleting my OO profile (C:\Home\Default\OpenOffice) and started Writer. After going thru the initialization routine (add name) now I consistently get a crash and *.trp file when I go to Tools->Options->Java. The *.trp files all look the same. Can also now start Base without a crash, but after closing it there is a Java process still running that needs to be closed. After closing the Java process, Quickstart (if it was running) crashes with a *.trp file. Something isn't quite right....
ivan:
I thought that the AOO and LibreOffice maintainers were trying to remove the use of java from both products - at least that was what I read on a tech news site quite some time ago.
Since I have never seen the need for java in either AOO or LO could someone enlighten me as to why you would use it?

If you want to use Base, you have to have Java. Otherwise you can live without it. It would be great if they got rid of the requirement.
ivan:
Thanks David. It does seem to be a rather strange requirement in this version although I suppose it goes back to its roots in StarOffice that was pretending to be a total desktop environment.

Hi to you,
Regards Java: Version 1.6.0 Build 27 GA5 (2013-02-17)
and,
Here config.sys is not special case: simple libpath and path to E:\PROGRAMS\OPENJDK6\BIN
I do not offer AOO allows selection and path to the java on this old t-43 system and seems not others system.
But new: I look at Base files further and find Base crashing while circumstanced: open database macros. And, choose tables of the database. Stable not so much on production uses, then.
