And you got valid answers from me and from Florian for all operating
systems (since you don't tell us yours).

Huh? Really? Which issue number was that? I can't believe that any LO
version had been released with such a show stopper issue.

The only issue I am aware of is that Windows users could not use any
Java features because they pointed their 32 bit office suite to 64 bit
Java runtimes. The issue was that the option dialog did not hide
inadequate runtime versions.

My LO 3.5 (64 bit, shipped with Ubuntu 12.4) works with any 64 bit Java
I throw at it, including the latest Java 8.25, 6.33 shipped with Ubuntu
12.4 and 7.65.
At least I can start the document wizards, Base forms, Base wizards and
the report builder extension, configure another JRE, restart the office
and start again document wizards, Base forms, Base wizards and report
builder.
