David, Yes! I will happily work with your JDK 7 based build with Java 7 bytecode to see if that restores the JAB function Oracle clobbered when they moved Java Access Bridge into the base JRE at 1.7u6. Thanks for the history... Can't fault Tor's work on fixing the compiler java_target_version to 1.5 across all build platforms. But the comments made in rejecting your https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/2884/ seem a little short sighted because at that point we'd already demonstrated that the JRE 7 built in JAB was NOT functioning correctly for providing UAA based Assistive Technology tools to Windows OS desktops and filed fdo#58995. And any of the thousands of AT dependent LibreOffice users on Windows can attest that UAA <--> JAB AT is impacted because we've had to have folks jump through hoops to obtain a functional AT (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Java or https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility ). Issue of bytecode target interaction with JRE becomes more troubling if you consider that the default Java JRE update settings on Windows systems replace all JRE 6 installations with current JRE 7 builds. In other words the percentage of total LibreOffice ussers with JRE 1.5 or JRE 1.6 installations even installed is rapidly shrinking.
