            Bug ID: 121885
           Summary: problems updating jre for database
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bdj at dj-group.org

Description:
This is a request for an improvement.  I got the bug report page after pressing
on the link for request.

I am not a techie.  I don't use the database often and one of the reasons why
is that everytime I do use it, it tells me that it needs a jre runtime
environment.  Each time this happens I go through the process of finding the
libreoffice instructions, which are not that clear, but somehow I do get the
jre activated and attached to the database.  But the next time I go to use the
database, the same thing happens.  I can't stand it anymore.

I love iibreoffice and have no problem with any other component of the package.

Please, for the same of not-tech people like me, on just this one component
since it doesn't operate without the jre, make it an automatic update and
install. I can design and manage a database - it's the back end that I can;t
handle. I would be extremely grateful if you would undertake this to the extent
that I would make a donation toward it.

Actual Results:
Actual results are listed in the description
