OK, I see Larry has done this.
I took a cursory look at Ariels's Comment 7 also.
It would help if we knew what particular functions of AOO failed without
the use of Java 6.
Some further clarification.
Issue 126130 is specific to Macs.
AOO does not require Java 6. It will work with newer versions, however, AOO will not find newer
versions unless Java 6 is installed. This is a bug in AOO brought about after Apple quit
building and providing their own version of Java.
Many months ago, I tried to get, through additional java flags, what
problems any of our java code might be causing for java 7 specifically.
Some methods we are using are deprecated, but I didn't interpret these
as show stoppers. However, I will upgrade to Java 8, and run through
this scenario again to see what comes out.
Thanks for all the comments.
