Should we have a checkbox in the Java options reading: "Automatically chose workin JRE" Meaning that in case the JRE was uninstalled, VM Library could not be loaded,etc. that a different JRE is used. This would override the user's JRE selection. Retargeting. For the user it looks like the javasettings have been lost everytime they install a new JRE. Beginning with jre6u13, it will remove the previous version (for example jre 6u12). Correction: On Windows the JRE 6u13 uninstalls 6u12 even if the user chooses a different folder. When the JRE is installed with OOo then it is in the same localtion as the 6u12 and Java works in OOo. Only the java options page does not show the 6u12 anymore and the 6u13 is not selected. The GUI installer on Linux always uses rpm -U to install the JRE. This causes the previous version to be uninstalled. In this case the user will see the "java defective" message after updating OOo (including JRE). But this problem is quite old. Setting target to 3.2 3.1 again. @of: Please verify. adding to blocker issue of: The fix looks good in cws jl119. *** Issue 83140 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** ok in OOO310_m10 *** Issue 88225 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
