Why has this issue not been mentioned?
last publicly available release of Oracle JDK 6 is to be released in
*February, 2013*.
This means that after February 19, 2013, all newsecurity updates <#>,
patches and fixes for Java SE 6 and Java SE 5 will only be available
through My Oracle Support and will thus require a commercial license
with Oracle

I don't have an answer to why this has not been mentioned in this
forum. It has now!
And I just went through the pain of creating an Oracle account to gain
access to their archives for the old (Java 6) versions!
Time to resurrect Blackdown Java?

What about that Free Software Foundation (GNU) Java? I have a Java RE
called Free Software Foundation 1.4.2 on my Slackware Linux 12.2
system. A look at their website looks like it is no longer active.
Maybe it is time for AOO to either code for Java 7 or remove Java
dependencies altogether.
Keep in mind that AOO is not the only app that uses Java. Mozilla
immediately comes to mind. They will most likely have to change also.
