From the release notes known issues at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.6+Release+Notes#AOO4.1.6ReleaseNotes-FormacOSusers
Due to a known bug in Oracle Java installations of Apache OpenOffice on
macOS that do not
have the legacy Apple Java 6 installed will not be able to recognize Oracle
Java 7 and 8.
If not able to upgrade to Java 9 than install the legacy version of Apple
Java from the
following link: Legacy Apple Java 6. This will allow the portions of AOO
that require Java
to run properly.
Two choices. Install the legacy version of Java 6 from
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
Or install Java 12 JDK from Oracle, which will work without also having the legacy version
installed
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk12-downloads-5295953.html
After installing start OpenOffice. On the menu bar click on OpenOffice/Preferences then go to
OpenOffice/Java and check "Use a Java runtime environment" then check the Java that is installed.
