Re: [libreoffice-users] Recommended version of Java?

Hi :)
I think it's best to do without Java if at all possible.  Since Oracle took
it over and put their own devs onto it Java appears to have been unstable
and vulnerable.  Some of their security patches and upgrades have been so
full of holes that there have been known exploits "out in the wild" even
before their release date that they had to shelve them.

LibreOffice has worked hard to remove any dependence on Java but there are
still a few incredibly rare things that still need it.  Accessibility
support is moving off Java.  The inbuilt back-end for Base is migrating to
Firebird

It might be possible to use;
Tools - Options - Advanced
to switch off java.  Hopefully no data-loss occurs and it just grumbles
when something does need Java.  If you do get such an error message then it
should be reasonably easy to switch java back on and re-try the task.

Good luck!
Regards from
Tom :)
