[libreoffice-users] Re: JRE v7.0 ?

PARTS of Base require Java, ie to link to a new external database or 
set up new Queries. But it is not required with those databases once 
they have been configured.

I was prompted to enable Java last week when I added a new external DBF 
database and queries. I have now disabled it (makes loading of LO 
faster) and can still access that database.

When I upgraded from 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 the other week I got an alert to 
enable Java during the installation process. Not sure what triggered 
it, and I have never had this before when upgrading either OO or LO.
