Hi guys,
So:

Java has been dropped, too, but there is slightly more hope for
Java users: the first time you try to run a Java app, the OS
will offer to download and install one for you. This is helpful
but not ideal – so, for instance, to offer an entirely
hypothetical scenario, if you had just installed LibreOffice and
written a few hundred words of copy, you wouldn't be able to
save your work if no JVM had been installed when the program was
launched. Apparently the file-saving functionality is one of the
Java bits and LibreOffice needs a restart for saving to work.
Who knew?
Looks bad; it seems we screwed over Liam; hopefully he could copy/paste
out of it, but ...
Is this really so ? it'd be great to isolate and kill whatever Java is
required to save anything on Mac ?
Thoughts ?
Michael.
