For more background and implications of not installing Java with OpenOffice, see also this blueprint proposed for the 12.10 Ubuntu release (Quantal): LibreOffice package split collateral damage analysis : Blueprints : Ubuntu https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-libreoffice-split I think that underscores the significance of the issues, and supports the desirability of at least making the warning correct and helpful, rather than leading the user in the wrong direction. In the meantime, hopefully this bug report will lead the people who find it in the right direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926594 Title: LibreOffice warning gives wrong advice: "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!"
