Re: [libreoffice-users] latest java update has broken my install ofLibre Office.

Hi :)
I think this is the way forwards.  We used to keep older versions of java back in the LO 3.3.x line 
because any version of java more recent than about 4 versions old seemed to break LO.  We stopped 
doing that because various users complained that older java meant more vulnerable and there were 
also some concerns about copyright.  If anyone is able to get the right version of 6_31 to you then 
let us know but just don't tell us who.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thank you very much for this, this has at least fixed it so L.O. will at least start up again so 
that is half the battle.  I am still going to have to install java 631 once I actually find it 
because L.O. definitely does not like this java 7 update.  If I try to enable accessibility it says 
that this JRE is defective.  Fortunately I may have the old installer laying around somewhere.

Thanks again.

Tom

I had the same problem here, running jre 7 on XP and installing the newest
LibreOffice.
The problem was fixed by removing javasettings_Windows_x86.xml (I actually
just renamed it to javasettings_Windows_x86.xm0) and then when I started
LibreOffice a new and correct version was created. The old xml file
contained info about the jre6, which was not there any longer.
Apparently LO 3.5.4.2 didn't detect the correct Java version when
upgrading from LO 3.4.xx.
That xml file was located inside \LibreOffice\3\user\config\ inside the
<user>\AppData folder
