Tom, Activating a Java Runtime Environment in LibreOffice 3.5.4 took a little while to complete its initial load following upgrade, but the JRE 1.7 update 5 does function correctly with JAB 2.02 installed with LibreOffice 3.5.4 on 64-bit Windows 7. So, not a problem with the LibreOffice Accesibility and the Assistive technology tools. Installation of the updates (32bit and 64bit versions from java.com) did not corrupt my LibreOffice user profile, and JAB 2.0.2 was not affected. The NVDA screen reader continues to work correctly with LibreOffice. So, the JRE installer is not the problem, and that leaves LibreOffice user profile configuration issues. I suspect you were just unluky this time round with the Java update misconfiguring some component of your profile. I beleive Bjørn's guidance to delete or to rename the *javasettings_Windows_x86.xml* file is the correct way to clear the issue by allowing your user profile to rebuild. Or you could completely remove your LibreOffice user profile and allow it to be rebuilt with defaults. The full profile is the folder located at *C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user* which can be renamed.
