I don't think it can anymore "automatically" (but I'm prepared to be
proven wrong ;-)), at least not on Mac, the handling of the Java path
was changed during 3.4.x or 3.5.x development, I seem to recall, because
LO was having problems recognising the write system Java path.

Yes, that is the latest default Java version on current OSX 10.6.8.

Mine says :
java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

Like I said, I think it has to do with the path changes introduced for
Java recognition during 3.4/3.5 development (I don't exactly remember
when this happened).

The only thing I can think of is if you change your environment
variables in your session bash profile or the corresponding session
plist. You might then be able to force LO to take the Java version of
your choice.
