I totally aggree with you. The explicit recommendation to install old Java on Window machines is careless. The performance problem affects the combination of databases engines written in Java (HSQLDB and H2) together with Linux and OOo/LibO Base. My databases are unusable under Linux with a recent Java version, even when the HSQLDB backend runs on a Windows machine with a recent Java. Unusable means minutes of waiting instead of seconds. Under Windows I see no such problem. My Linux system has a recent Java version installed. I only point the office suite to a separate JVM I extracted manually from the packages. No system wide configuration file nor environment variable points to the old Java version. I feel safe with this setup. Admittedly I am no expert in computer security. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/JRE-older-installs-Windows-now-online-no-need-for-Oracle-account-tp3301190p3307579.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
