Hi, I'm using LO 4.0.2.2 on OS X 10.8.3 and I'm having the same issue. Only, the message ("LibreOffice requires a Java runtime...") pops up so frequently that it's really disturbing my work. Things get even worse when I type in Japanese (I can't type more than 2 characters without having the message poping up). I didn't find a solution to this problem on forums: would anyone have an idea?

(Sorry, this is meant to be a comment, but I don't find the commmenting tool...)

@_Josephine_ -- you needed more karma to be able to comment (I just up-voted your Answer for that purpose)

@_Josephine_, Do you have a JRE installed on your system? I thought that Apple was shipping their own Java lately, but I can't remember the exact situation...

@qubit : thanks for your answer (and thanks for the karma thing, didn't know about that)! I haven't installed a JRE myself so if I have anything, it should be Apple's Java... But it looks to me like I don't have a JRE at all.

@_Josephine_ either open a terminal and type: java -version and see what it reports, or go here. I have v1.6.0_45 working fine under MacOS 10.6.8 (with LO).

@Josephine - JRE problem and Japanese seems to be a Mac+JRE problem on my windows machine I have no problems to write Japanese. XP english Prof / SP3 / Asian language support package. I hope this information supports identification of the route cause.

May be just try to install the last Java runtime environment JRE because Apple supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature (available on the Apple menu / Software Update...) to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java for your Mac.
For mac it's actually the version 6 (if i remember)

Hi @wizonesolutions,

Still looking for an Answer here? Could you please try to install the latest release of LibreOffice and Java (see @ProLogic's answer above) and see if that fixes the issue?
