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

As long as this discussion has taken a snarky turn,  let's note that
"fully supported" does not mean it will work in situ, lol. In fact, my
experience has been that almost all the java issues I have experienced
on OSX would not have resulted in any indication that LO was not "fully
supported" with that version of java

The model employed by WordPress with respect to plugins offers an
interesting perspective, in that it encourages users to indicate whether
they have encountered issues.  The issues may rest on complex
interactions (such as the abort experienced when LO immediately sources
a problematic source for Java), or upon circumstances that avoided QA
(for whatever reasons) and perhaps are in some respects more informative
from the stand point of the average user than a certification (of
dubious value anyway.)

And, of course, the complexities of addressing multiple OS through
different methods could require an extensive matrix (as the vagaries of
the impact of the bitness, location, and viability of java on OSX have
demonstrated.)

Lastly,  I want to note that just because one person poses a question,
does not mean a list response is intended for that person alone. Nor
should I assume that those responding have a clear picture of what I am
asking for and why I am asking for it, all of which can help formulate
answers.  Yes, it is often frustrating when you ask about issue a and
you get a discursive discussion of issue b,  but that is, at least to
date, the nature of humanity - waxing buff may pump your hormones, but
it won't help the person looking for a discussion of issue b
