            Bug ID: 122413
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Missing Information on Bug/Fix with AOO 3.4.x and Java
                    1.7
           Product: Infrastructure
           Version: current
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Website general issues
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org

On my Win7 64-Bit System AOO 3.4.x will detect but not be able to work with
Java 1.7

On intalling AOO and Java 1.7 I couldn't find any info on this issue. The only
and rather vague hint that I might encounter a problem was
http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/java.html


https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119525
As of this info, Java 1.7 needs VS C++ 2010. It did the job for me.


This Bug is marked as fixed and with my little knowledge it appears to me that
the issue to be adressed is on Oracle's Side. Though the information on how to
actually fix it would have saved me 1hr+ of Reinstallations and going through
the usual suggestions.
Unless I overlooked it and the info is available other than in the bugtracker
or on a private homepage, and as this seems to be a general problem to me with
Java 1.7 for everyone not having VS C++ 2010 installed, the next guy might be
happy to be pointed at it.

http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/java.html
The 'Download Instructions for Windows Online' linked on the bottom don't seem
to contain the installation of VC C++ 2010 which surprisingly isn't listed in
the requirements either.

Thx

--- Comment #1 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <ar...@apache.org> ---
The information is available directly from the download page: the "Download
Apache OpenOffice ..." in green has a link to the Release Notes:

http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 support Java 7, which is the recommended
configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings
about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
