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

Yeah they definitely need to warn people about this because like I said I've 
never had a java update screw things this bad.  I've been on the java site 
this morning and they do not seem to have the old 631 download on there so I 
will have to hope I have it laying around somewhere on an external drive or 
something.

So yes assuming it's not already too late for you absolutely do not do this 
latest update unless you can keep the old 631 version around too.

Best regards and thanks for the info.

Tom

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.

Regards from
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
