In your opinion.

Further, I fail to see what that has to do with LO not starting with
Java 7 installed.

I've no issues with Sun Java 6.26 (linux) or 6.29 (Windows). There may
be issues with Base with later version, but if you are going to post
these, then point to bug report so that OP can judge for himself. I
pointed the OP to a bug report related to Java 7 which maybe related to
his issue. At least it is someplace to start & is based on valid data
rather than generalities.

IOW if you are going to make these statements, then provide links/bug
reports et al to back it up. You may be correct, but it does no good to
make them otherwise.
