            Bug ID: 127278
           Summary: BASE reports and wizards still require Java
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ostersund18647 at gmail.com

After having migrated from HSQLDB to Firebird, I thought it would be possible
to uninstall Java - wasn't that one of the main reasons for changing to
Firebird?

However, I found that, whenever I tried to generate a report created before the
migration, an error message was shown saying that a Java Runtime Environment
needs to be installed to generate the report.

When I then tried to use the Report Creation Wizard to try to create a
replacement report, an error message was shown saying that a Java Runtime
Environment needs to be installed to run the Wizard.

I then found that a JRE needs to be installed to use ANY Wizard (Table, Query,
Form or Report).

It seems to me that the consequences of migrating to Firebird weren't properly
evaluated before going ahead. The Wizards (and Report generation?) need to be
modified so that a JRE is no longer required.
