I first saw this reported on OOOForum.org and tested with Oracle Open Office 3.3.1 to confirm the problem on a WinXP system.

I have a x64 Windows 7 Enterprise with java 7u1 i586 and java 7u1 x64 installed. None of these are found by OOo. I installed java 6u29 i586 and OOo found this java
/Jakob

This is correct.

OOo 3.3 cannot detect any JRE that is 64-bit. You have to use a 32-bit but only JRE 6u(xyz) is possible, version 7 will come later. AFAIK this is for all platforms.

Started.
Base problem: "Oracle Corporation" is not recognized as a valid vendor.

Funny.

The same problem showed up in a different way (Maven POM checking of java.vendor) at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-299

*** Issue 118749 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

Fixed with revision 1229371

I will wait to resolve this as fixed until someone can confirm it is actually fixed.

@Ariel,

What configurations do you need to see confirmed?  (And where are the builds?).

* Install the JRE 7 in the default location
* Install the JDK 7 in the default location

they both should appear in the dialog Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java

For example, I have installed:

C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre6
C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre7
C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jdk1.6.0_19
C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jdk1.7.0_02

The option dialog shows the 4 JRE automatically:

* JREs not installed but placed on non-default locations won't appear on the dialog by default, but can be added by pressing the "Add" button and selecting the folder

For example, I have copies of the JREs in

C:\java\jre6
C:\java\jre7

These folders can be selected, and AOO should list the JRE in the Options dialog.

>(And where are the builds?).

IIRC you are a Windows guy, so you can try the Windowos builds from http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/


For LINUX users: 
* AOO sould detect automatically JREs installed on default system locations.
* you should be able to select any folder containing a valid JRE on any location and AOO should detect it. For example, in /opt/jdk1.7.0_02

As described, I've downloaded AOO from http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/. I've installed JRE 1.6.0_30, JRE 1.7.0_02 and JDK 1.7.0_02. In Tools Options all JREs and JDK will be detected.
A quick test if all runtimes will be supported: Go 'File | Wizards | Webpage'. The webpage wizard won't open with JRE/JDK 1.7.0. The wizard works as expected wit JRE 1.6.0.
We should not detect 1.7.0 if it's not supported.

Under win7 in version http://people.apache.org/~orw/DevSnapshots-Rev.1229535/win32/OOo-Dev_OOO340m1_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe 
When I start the Webpage Wizard:
I get 

Debug Output
---------------------------
Error: SfxHTMLParser::SfxHTMLParser: Wo kommt der ZS her?
From File c:/AOO/sources/firsttasks/main/sfx2/source/bastyp/sfxhtml.cxx
at Line 79
Abort ? (Yes=abort / No=ignore / Cancel=core dump)

Click no, then second debug error:

Click No, and the wizard starts.

May be the version builded with debug enabled?

Tested on WinXP and Windows 7, with JRE and JDK 7 (all 32 bits), that wizard works for me.

This is true. But it is another issue.
We have to split:

a) this issue, detect JRE 7.0 version
b) issues with things that don't work with JRE 7

I will resolve (a) as fixed: JRE is detected.
For (b), please open new bug reports of the kind "[java 7] XXX does not work ..."

Resolved as FIXED.
Java 7 is now detected.

For this are two sides of one medal. Displaying Java 7 without supporting it is meaningless. It has to be fixed in one go.

This is why bugzilla has a "Blocks" field: bugs reporting some feature not working with Java 7 should block this bug.

Where "block" means that this feature won't be integrated in a final release until those blocker issues are fixed.

Web Wizard working with JRE/JDK7 on Windows 7 (64 bits system, AOO 32 bits, Java 32 bits)

Revision 1229371

getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.

java 7 works on my Windows 7, it can be detected and appears in the dialog Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java.

File->Wizards->web page also works

There seems to be a problem in AOO: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119525

Both Bug 119525 and Bug 119993 cannot be reproduced, at least not by me, so for me they are unconfirmed.
