The FreeBSD port of OpenOffice 4.1.2 works with java 1.8. The only problem that I know if related to using 1.8 to build is that that after installation it will only work with 1.8. If you build with 1.7, then you can use either 1.7 or 1.8 on the machine where OpenOffice is installed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
