--- Comment #23 from [email protected] ---
I can confirm that the problem exists on my brand-new iMac Retina 5K 27" 2017
running macOS Sierra 10.12.6. I am not able to run Base. I have downloaded and
installed the latest JDK for macOS (jdk-9_osx-x64_bin.dmg) from Oracle's Java
website. After doing so, I did not find a "jre" subfolder in
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/ (as I did on my Late
2012 iMac on which I have been running Base for several years, most recently
with jdk1.8.0_74). In LibreOffice > Preferences > Advanced, I checked "Use a
Java runtime environment", but no JRE was listed below under
"Vendor/Version/Features."
I then downloaded the latest JRE for macOS (jre-9_osx-x64_bin.dmg) from
Oracle's website and ran that installer. Still no "jre" subfolder in
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/, where it should be,
and still no JRE listed in LO > Preferences > Advanced. Apparently, Oracle's
installer installs the JRE to support Java applets in web browsers, but not to
support applications.
Next, I downloaded jre-9_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz and uncompressed it. This yielded a
folder named "jre-9.jre". I copied this folder to
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/ and renamed it
"jre". In LO > Preferences > Advanced, I clicked "Add", navigated to
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/, and clicked OK.
LibreOffice displayed this message:
The Java runtime environment you selected is not the required version.
Please select a different folder.
JDK 9 is the latest offered by Oracle, yet LibreOffice does not seem to
recognize it. What further diagnosis can I perform?
Thanks!
