Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: This is how I got LibreO installed and working

I do not know if the Windows versions of LO still hang up till you 
install a Java Runtime, but it use to.  I just automatically install the 
runtime now for a new system.  It may have changed, but I do not know if 
it has.

The developers are working hard to remove the need for Java with LO.  
They are converting Java coding to Python.  BUT, many of the popular 
extension may be written in Java, so there will still be a need to use 
it, even though the "core" package does not need it to run.
