[Libreoffice-qa] further follow-up: JRE for LO 3.3?

[Ted Lee]

I give up.  I was able to track down a couple of JRE's that should have 
worked for LO/OO 3.3.  The Open Office site somewhere says that 3.3 
requires Java 1.5 aka Java 5.  I was able to find an old version of that 
in the Apple archives for MacOS 10.4.  That gave me something that would 
have been installed as a framework. The OO site also said that prior to 
something after 3.3 OO distributions included the JRE.  Neither LO 3.3 
nor OO 3.3 for MacOS has any JRE in them.  I did find a Linux 
distribution for 3.0 that had a JRE in it  (a directory with a handful 
of subdirectories etc.).  I could not get LO 3.3 to recognize either of 
those (the framework or the Linux files) as a JRE.  I have no clue, of 
course, what LO 3.3 is looking for in the way of a JRE installation, but 
I haven't been able to find anything that worked.  Any ideas, anyone?  
How do you test LO 3.3 on a Mac? (Remember, 5.4.5 and 6.0.1.1 accept the 
JRE that's currently installed just fine.)
