Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Latest Libo Won't Play Nice with my JRE

Hi :)
Is there something 'obvious'?  Is your other screen-reader also java-based?  Do you have other java 
stuff on your machine?  Any previous versions of java lurking around?  


If we can update the 

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Java
to expand it to possibly deal with Kevin's and your situations then that would be fantastic.  I 
think people are reading the page and finding it helpful.  Each time i go there it's had another 
30-40 hits.  If it works for most people but is not quite right for a few then that's fine but it 
would be even better if you could help get the page working for more people.  


Err, it has taken me all day to write this so if Stuart has given better advice earlier please 
ignore this email.  I keep getting distracted, sorry.  

Apols and regards from
Tom :)
