Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Cannot get LibreOffice to install

Hi :)
The 6u21 is the best version.  After that Oracle started making java increasingly incompatible.  
The _22 is still quite good, about as good as the _20.  I think _23 works but _24 starts being a 
bit of trouble.  I don't know if there has been a serious study on this but a few people have 
tested a few versions of java on a few different OSes but it would take a lot of hunting through 
the archives to gather the data.
Regards from
Tom :)

See:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39659
[Java 1.7.0 not recognised]
and
http://java.com/en/download/faq/java7.xml

You might want to comment regarding the startup failure on 39659. IMO LO
should not fail the startup regardless of java version (or no java at all).
