As an example, how many know that MS IE has two versions of bitness installed since Vista and Windows 7 and 8, and were the first Internet browser programmers to do this, or for that matter Windows Media Player 12. So I simply offer advice going forward as our O/S world is changing.
Even the 64bit distros (the first O/S to offer 64bit even before Windows XP 64bit and Windows Vista) of Linux are seamlessly working with 32bit and 64bit apps, and the general populous of Linux users are not aware of what bitness an app is, as long as it works. The world does not even remember our transition from 8bit to 16bit in our hardware and software, and it's happening the same now.

Hi :) My guess is that the default is 64bit or else other apps might need the 64bit version. It's generally not a good idea to have more than 1 version of Java although even 1 might well be more than you need now. Accessibility and Base (using the internal back-end) still need it. Fewer and fewer wizards and extensions need it.

LO Base cannot see or use it, hence it showing up in the settings but Base not able to use it. My advice is install both the 32bit version and 64 bit version of JRE 1.7.0_27, problem solved. LO will sort out which version to use as each app is run.Why install a 64 bit version of Java if you don't need it? Just install the 32 bit version... -- 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
