It was my understanding that the only thing in OO that was dependent upon Java was the database engine (HSQLDB) which is coded 100% in Java. I used OS/2 and eComStation until I reached the point that I could not install it on my new hardware, and the OS/2 version of OOo worked just fine without Java, including databases using other dbms solutions. I even used HSQLDB under eComStation until it reached the point they needed a realease of Java later than 1.4.1. After that I was unable to use later versions of HSQLDB.

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? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 A look at their website looks like it is no longer active.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.
