[Libreoffice] [Libreoffice-qa] Java 7 support in LO 3.4.5 (was: minutes of tech. steering call ...)

Hi all

Some findings about Java 7 under Win XP Pro x86 SP3:

Uninstalled Java 6 rev 29.
Run LO 3.4.4. Executed File, Wizard, Letter. Reported missing Java
Run LOdev 3.5.0 Build ID: f923851-7f15fca-1f1fd1a-ca8e46d-5bcbce4.
Executed File, Wizard, Letter. LOdev crashed.

Installed Java 7 rev 1 without rebooting
Run LO 3.4.4. Executed File, Wizard, Letter. Reported missing Java
Run LOdev 3.5.0 Build ID: f923851-7f15fca-1f1fd1a-ca8e46d-5bcbce4.
Executed File, Wizard, Letter. LOdev crashed.

Run again LOdev 3.5.0 Build ID: f923851-7f15fca-1f1fd1a-ca8e46d-5bcbce4.
Went to Options, Java, selected Version 1.7.0_01
Executed File, Wizard, Letter. Wizard worked as expected.

Uninstalled Java 7. Rebooted

Installed Java 7 rev 1 and rebooted
Run LO 3.4.4. Executed File, Wizard, Letter. Reported missing Java
Run LOdev 3.5.0 Build ID: f923851-7f15fca-1f1fd1a-ca8e46d-5bcbce4.
Executed File, Wizard, Letter. Wizard worked as expected.

Conclusion
LO 3.4.4 works like a charm but won't detect Java 7;
LO 3.5.0 crashes on Wizard execution if Java is not installed or was
not detected. Works as expected when Java is detected or selected.

One question: if both Java versions are installed and I do not specify
which one to use, which version is used?
