Re: [libreoffice-users] Base and Java 1.7 - does not work

Hi :)
That is a bit disappointing to hear but it's good to know.  Thanks for reporting it!  

According to 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-5-new-features-and-fixes/
(about 3/4th of the way through in "other" just before "ODF 1.2 Conforming Documents")  one of the 
advantages of the 3.5.x branch is that it can  supposedly handle Java 7.  Have you tried versions 
earlier than the 1.7u4?  

In the release notes it suggests that openJDK might be better, for Gnu&Linux users, than the "GCJ" 
variant.  OpenJDK is still run by Oracle but apparently it has a good community behind it aswell.  

It might be worth posting a bug-report about the java 7 not working on Windows.

Apols and regards from
Tom :)

I have been a happy user of LO for a long time but have just started to
explore Base.

I have been unable to get Base to work with the latest JRE on Windows Vista
or on W7. When I select this version in the Java options it fails to
recognise that it is a valid JRE. 

Environments used for testing
Base appears to run with Java 1.6.0_32 on 32 bit W7 using LO 5.3.3 but not
with 1.7.0_04. This version is a Virtual Machine

Base also runs (more extensive testing) with LO 3.5.2.2 using Java 1.6.0_31
on a 32 bit Vista but fails to run if I select 1.7.0_04. On the first
occasion I tried on this environment LO crashed completely and would not
start - I had to go into the xml configuration file and remove the reference
to Java there. 

Is there a known bug associated with the latest version of Java?
