OS X 10.9.1, LO 4.2.0.4... but still no Java7? [closed]
To the question "Which path to enter to add Java 7 to a Mac OS X installation." (posted on Jan 13 '13 by Martin Krischik), on Jan 21 '14 mcnesium answered:
"It does not take the Java 7 path because it's 64bit and LibO 4.1 does not support 64bit yet. It will be available in 4.2".
Excellent news... however, I upgraded to LO 4.2.0.4 just yesterday, yet to be able to use Base I still had to install the older (and no longer recommended!) Java 6 because it was not possible to make it use the more recent Java 7 already installed. Too bad!
The 4.2 Release Notes, under "Infrastructure", do say "Added 64-bit builds for OS X", so what's the issue?
Here's the bug report generated when trying to open a Base document with just Java7 installed:
(more)I've been wondering exactly the same thing! Hope there's a solution to this soon, it seems like failing the "creating a new database" test should be a blocker!
I guess everyone has also looked at this post.
