--- Comment #18 from Marc Grober <marc at interak.com> ---
I downloaded Oracle Java 12.0.2, Alex, installed, started LO 7.0.0, received
the defective java error message, then opened prefs and selected 12.0.2 as the
java version for LO 7.0.0 and it work. Thereupon I installed the zotero
connector, and it worked as well.

So, it appears that something about LO 7 has broken something that works in LO
6, or that Oracle has somehow changed something in Java 14 that cause LO 7 to
choke because LO 7 does not know how to handle it.

At this point I do not know what the actual code error might be, but
considering the rather extensive history of LO's issues with java on Mac, I
think the criticality on this should be raised so that we don;t find ourselves
running down a blind alley.

It would seem that since whatever check LO does when instantiated on java, that
whomsoever was responsible for any changes in that detection code should be
able to quickly identify what the problem is.
