I thought there was a fix for this.
It is essential that this is fixed for Mac users.
As I understand it, the reason is lack of testing and, as explained by
Ariel, system changes in the latest 2 versions of MacOS X that require
build changes for this to work. But testing is easy: just download a
4.1.3-RC1 build from
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.3-rc1/ and give
your feedback in the issue. If this doesn't make it for 4.1.3, it is a
clear candidate for 4.1.4 (which is surely not going to take one year!).

Andrea.
Base works in 4.1.3-RC1. I worked in the build that Ariel posted on the
issue for this bug. Apparently it doesn't require build changes to work,
or have those changes been made. Or was Ariel referring to the bug that
means the legacy Java 6 is required for Java to work on AOO???
I tried to find out what was going on in the thread
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0e96354facb4683435be70f428f8381636b2becaa89b34ab7b5f3ef0@%3Cdev.openoffice.apache.org%3E
Subject: Status of "Base 4.1.2 does not open Tables and Queries in Mac OSX"
I could not get a clear consensus that it has been fixed in 4.1.3, so I could not include it
in the release notes as a fixed bug. There is still time to change that.
The inability to build on newer versions of OS X refer to fixing the bug that requires the
legacy version of Java 6 be installed before any version of Java can be found by AOO. I
currently have Java 1.8.0 installed and the legacy Java 1.6.0. AOO is using the 1.8 version but
would not be able to use it if 1.6 was not also installed.
Each major update of macOS (previously known as Mac OS X) removes the legacy Java and requires
it to be reinstalled before AOO will find the newer Java.
