[UX] "JRE not available": Improve the shown error message, create a webpage to show more details
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:03:51 UTC
Due to some discussions on the dev@ mailing list, it was mentioned that the error messages like "JRE not available" (there are a few more) needs to be improved to show the user whats really up. For this the fix is split-up into 2 parts: 1. Update the text in the shown dialog. Add a URL to a webpage. 2. Create the webpage to show full details. It is agreed to get the new webpage translated, so it will be added to the "www.openoffice.org/xx/..." area.
"marcus" committed SVN revision 1648506 #i125981# Added webpage to explain why OpenOffice needs Java
Part #2 was created by taking a copy of "www.openoffice.org/common/java.html". It's now located in "www.openoffice.org/xx/java/index.html".
The new text for the error message is the following. "Some OpenOffice operations use the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). A suitable JRE is not installed. For details please see: http://www.openoffice.org/java.html" (suggested by Dennis E. Hamilton and already agreed on the mailing list) In Pootle the URL can be exchanged to "http://www.openoffice.org/xx/java/index.html" when the L10N teams want to show a translated text to their users.
(In reply to Marcus from comment #3) > In Pootle the URL can be exchanged to > "http://www.openoffice.org/xx/java/index.html" when the L10N teams want to > show a translated text to their users. The easiest translation will be "http://openoffice.org/xx/java" so there is as little as possible to have to copy or type.
