The goal of the JRE is, as the name Java Runtime Environment says, that it should be sufficient to run Java functionality.
That is Oracle's take. In reality
In all discussions I miss why LO needs more then the runtime environment... We should work to bring LO in the boundary of of the JRE.
No, Oracle must fix the JRE, or Apple must correct OS X Java system calls. Until then, LO for tdf#94716 now requires use of the unaffected JDK -- at the expense of OS X users now having to install the JDK rather than a broken JRE to access the Java runtimes. See Oracle's notes: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7131356 The LibreOffice details are in tdf#74877 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74877> and tdf#94716 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94716> LibreOffice has no skin in the game beyond running the Java based HSQLDB for Base internal database--and when we fully move to FireBird very little requirement for Java going forward. Java runtime -- from a JRE or JDK becomes irrelevant to the project. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Java-broke-on-LO-5-1-on-Macs-tp4174830p4175356.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
