Subject: [tdf-discuss] Java 7 - not recognised in LO in Windows Vista

Noticed by chance that Java 7.0 was released today. It's not in the
normal update cycle yet, but you can download it from:
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jre-7-download-432155.html

It installs and works fine in a number of apps (eg Jedit), but I can't
get LO 3.4.1 to recognise it, not even when given what should be the
right path (via Tools > Options > Java > Add)

Just wondering whether this is something that needs to be looked at
before 3.4.2 is released as I expect it will soon become the standard
Java release?

It seems Java 7 has been knowingly released with critical bugs:

  "These problems were detected only 5 days before the official Java 7 release,
  so Oracle had no time to fix those bugs"

They knew before the release date their product was broken and they still
shipped it. Unbelievable.

Instead of taking steps to enable the use of Java 7, we may want to actively
discourage it for now.
