Based on the UDS discussion https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-q-libreoffice- split it sounds like perhaps the warning message should just advise installing the "libreoffice" package. Here is a revised suggestion around that, which also would require a standard summary of the issues on a web page somewhere:
javaldx: LibreOffice could not find a Java Runtime Environment. That's fine if you don't rely on features that require Java like some wizards, extensions and databases. If you do rely on those features, install the full "libreoffice" package from the Ubuntu Software Center, which will pull in Java and libreoffice-base. See http://wiki.ubuntu.org/???? for background. -- 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!"
