Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: database

Hi :)
The 3.5.x branch prefers java 1.7 and apparently that preference has been back-ported to 3.4.5 and 
also gone into the 3.4.6.  For a Mac it's quite important to remove java 6_29 or was it 6_30 asap.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi.
My mac tried to update my java the other day to V7 (1.7), I stopped it..  I think there were issues 
with this version and LO. Possibly someone can advise the state of compatibility with the different 
LO versions and Java.
