Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] latest Java update has broken myinstall.

Hi :)
Ouch!!  You may have to reinstall everything that got migrated and set it up again :(  

The devs are apparently working on getting LO to work with java 7 but it's not going to be useful 
any time soon.  It would be good to get soemone to request the web-design team put some sort of 
warning about not using java 7 as you are not the first person to have had problems.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom and all.

Yes I know you can have more than one version of java installed at a time. What this update seems 
to have done is to migrate most everything from the old JRE6 folder to this new JRE7 folder.  I 
suspect that is what hosed my java access bridge install and is why I had to re-install jwin to get 
java accessibility working again.

At this point I am not able to open libre office at all.  I am going to see if I can find the old 
Java 631 and reinstall it and see if that fixes the problem for now.

Thanks much for the response.

Tom

Hi :)
You can have more than 1 version of java installed.

You might still have your previous version.  If you are able to open Libre Office at all then you 
can set which version of java it uses by

Tools - Options - Java

The first item is a tick-box that you need to have ticked in order to use java.  The 2nd item is a 
list of all the versions of java you have that are still installed.  I think the best one is 6_31.

If you can't open Libre Office or have not got the _31 then it might be a good idea to install the 
_31.

Tom :)

Hi all.

Well the subject pretty much says it, I got a notification there was an update to Java, I believe 
it is java 7 update five.  Once I did the update my install of Libre Office no longer works.  I get 
the standard windows 7 message about a problem has caused libre office to stop working,  Windows 
will close the program, blah blah blah.  I have tried repairing the install and when that did not 
do anything I went so far as to remove the whole install and re-install Libre Office.  Still no joy.

I am frankly not sure if this is an accessibility problem or not, I do know that the java update 
did totally screw my install of access bridge as well and I had to re-install that too.  This is 
the first time I’ve ever had a java update screw things up this way.

Needless to say I am not a happy camper, I need this program to do paperwork for work.  Has anyone 
else had this happen with this java update?  I am running the 32-bit version of windows 7.  I will 
probably post this to the general users list too but am posting it here in case it is related to 
the accessibility.  If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this or if you need more info just let me 
know.

Thanks in advance.

Tom
