Thanks, Marcus and Kay. Oh, I know so little about what is on the web site and wikis now. Must nose around more.
I would reword the Java and Accessibility statements a bit, but you have answered my basic question. There remain some usability questions. I wonder if others have Observations or comments about those they have observed. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Kay Schenk [mailto:kay.sch...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 15:36 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: [QUESTION] Optional Java Use for Essential Functionality [ ... ] The need for Java is detailed in the System Requirements -- http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo41.html linked from the Download page. What I found "startling" was the message that Java 6 is needed on Macintosh, which I was not aware of. We've switched to Java 7 for sure for Windows and Linux builds. The lack of a Mac buildbot makes tracking these kinds of anomalies difficult. Maybe it's time we investigate an alternate way of providing the same functionality without Java? -- -------------------------------------------- MzK “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” --Lao Tzu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
