The need for Java is detailed in the System Requirements --

linked from the Download page. What I found "startling" was the
message that Java 6 is needed on Macintosh, which I was not aware
of. We've switched to Java 7 for sure for Windows and Linux builds.
The lack of a Mac buildbot makes tracking these kinds of anomalies
difficult.
I don't see any mention that OS X requires a specific version of JRE.
The Java listing states minimum requirements which apply to all operating
systems.
I am using JRE 1.8.x on my Mac.
There was a problem with Macs having Apple's version of JRE 1.6 installed in order for AOO to
recognize newer JRE. I don't remember if that bug has been resolved.
