Sorry, it appears I had some finger trouble. I hope this screenshot is the one

Agreed, seems to be fixed since 4.1.7.
Remember that JRE 6 is out-to-date now.

Apache OpenOffice does not require Java 6, but requires it to installed on Macs
before AOO will recognize newer versions of Java. This is a bug in AOO code.
Apple used to supply their version of Java up to and including Java 6, but no
longer does so.

--- Comment #9 from Henry Harris <he...@me.com> ---
Hi there,
I hope that I have not confused anybody. I did struggle with completing the
form and adding attachments.
To clarify hopefully:
* I am running an iMac under OS X 10.10.2 (14C109)
* I am using Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1
* Java Version 8 Update 11 is installed
It appears that some features in this configuration of OpenOffice require Java
6, which is no longer available. An example can be seen when creating a new
database. A message referring to "soffice" appears and OpenOffice quits
unexpectedly.
The screen shots show the precise details, together with a text file of the
problem details.
Please let me know whether this is now sufficient information.
Thank you in anticipation.
Regards,
Henry

This message does not belong to OpenOffice, it looks like some error message
from your system.
Did you try to configure the JRE 8 installed on your mac? From the menu
OpenOffice - Preferences..., in Options - OpenOffice - Java, check "Use a Java
runtime environment", and in the list it should appear Java 8.

Thank you for comment 10.
Guess what, when I turn off the option "Use a Java runtime environment, using
my example, the database is created correctly.
Can anyone satisfy my curiosity s to what this is?
Screenshots attached hopefully.

The problem is not fixed. AOO does not find Java unless Java 6 is installed.
The location of newer versions of Java on Macs has been changed and AOO has not
been re-written to find that location.
There are many reports (and the workaround) of this on the Forum.

The crash report shows that there is indeed a bug. I cannot reproduce it, but
it is worth investigating (a crash with a STL container).
It seems unrelated to Java/OpenOffice Base.

Funny. We don't have a "Works for Me" tabulation, which might have been better
than resolving it on one success.
In any case, I think the web page about this issue needs to be updated. We
can't do anything about error messages from the OS, but we do need a place that
MAC OSX users can find and employ easily without dealing with Bugzilla.
Perhaps a new issue is best for that. When one is up, it will be cross-linked.

Java detection in AOO was updated some versions ago.
I have no problems finding AdoptOpenJDK 8 and 11 with AOO4.1.10 on macOS.
Can someone confirm?

Thank you for the last comment 17.
Are there any plans to work with Java 8 in the future and remove these
limitations?

Apache OpenOffice works with Java 8, but you also need to have Java 6
installed. Java 6 was provided by Apple, not Oracle. It is still available.

@Comment 11
When you turn off Java entirely you can still create new databases. These
databases will be connected to external dBase directories. dBase directories,
csv directories and spreadsheets are so called "file based databases" with very
limited functionality.
Without Java you can still create tables, queries and forms manually without
any wizard. You can not produce any reports but you can use Calc and
stand-alone Writer documents for reporting.
