Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice and Java

Hi Bob and all.

I've been through the wringer on this and have still not got much of 
anywhere.  It seems some people have major problems with this and some just 
don't seem to.  I spent well over an hour going through the steps listed on 
bugzilla that were supposed to fix this, e.g. uninstalling java completely, 
cleaning the registry, installing the new java, setting the javahome 
variable and path, re-installing the JAB, etc. etc.

This did sort of fix my problem, LO at least no longer says that my JRE is 
defective when I try to enable accessibility.  However from what I can tell 
the accessibility is still not working correctly.  Supernova still does not 
read my menus or the state of checkboxes.  NVDA doesn't either so I know it 
is not a Supernova problem.  I have no idea what to do at this point and am 
frankly about to give up on this.  Don't misunderstand me, the folks on this 
list have been very helpful trying to help me figure this out.  However 
while telling me that LO isn't the problem and that it's Windows and Java is 
all good and fine and I actually do believe this is the case, it does not 
fix this and I still have a productivity suite that does not allow me to be 
productive.  This is not something I am fooling around with as some sort of 
project, I depend on it for getting paperwork done for my work.  I used to 
recommend this package for my students especially those on a limited income 
and I probably still will for the very few tech savvy ones I get but for 
most of them if you start talking to them about Javahome variables and 
setting paths they're going to ask you what the living hell you're 
blabbering about.  I swore I'd never give Microshaft another dime for an 
Office package but that's what they use where I work and unless I get 
someplace with this pretty quick I may not have a choice.

Apologies to the list for the rant, I realize this thing is a work in 
progress and it's free and all that, however this is a serious issue for me. 
I really want to be able to offer people an alternative to shelling out 150 
bucks for a word processor and spreadsheet but I won't be able to unless I 
find a reasonable way to fix this.

Best regards,

Tom

I'm having a bit of a bother with any version of Libreoffice installed with 
JRE 1.7 on Windows 7.

Libreoffice crashes on start with any version of Java JRE greater than 1.6. 
If I go back to 1.6 I'm O.K.

Anyone else having issues?

If so and this is a new bug, what do you want to see?

Regards,

Bob
