Impossible to keep the activation of java 1.7

Hello,
OSX 10.9.2
I hoped with AOO 4.1 beta 1573601 finally see the java 1.7.0_51 be enabled.
If this version is displayed, only the apple version 1.6 can be activated.
What's going on?

the selection is stored correct in the users java settings but it is not reflected in the option dialog.

I found a simple fix for MacOS only that solve this issue. I would like to request the showstopper flag for this.
The fix is not critical, macos only but it increase the user experience a lot. Current behaviour is very confusing for users.

proposed simple fix

simple fix to show the selected Java in the options dialog. It's a MacOS only fix.
Comment 3 jsc 2014-03-17 14:32:21 UTC 
the whole Java search mechanism should be reworked and improved. For example to find automatically installed JDKs on MacOS.

proposed simple fix

+1: a nice fix for AOO410 final to solve the problem introduced by the magic done in jvmfwk/source/elements.cxx for the nRequirements setting on MACOSX. Both locations should should be cleaned up after the release.

grant showstopper flag after review

Hello,

The new version of AOO 4.1.0 RC just released on April 1st 
not only the java version 1.7.up51 is displayed correctly now,
but Java 1.8.0 version is also functional.
Thank you very much for your response.
