Java Version
Hello Group:
My Windows 10 Home is used on a 64-bit architecture DELL desktop.
I recently downloaded and installed Libre Office software. So, now I
have both packages:
1. Apache Open Office: AOO415m1(Build:9789) - Rev. 1817496
2017-12-11 17:25 (This is AOO 32-bit version.)
2. Libre Office: Version: 6.3.5.2 (x64)
Build ID: dd0751754f11728f69b42ee2af66670068624673
The two JREs available to me are:
1. jre-8u201-windows-i586
2. jre-8u241-windows-x64
Given that a 32-bit java and a 64-bit java should/must not be installed
on the same machine/partition. I therefore must remove one of the JREs
from my machine..... Or, install and run the AOO 64-bit version, and
keep the JRE-64 bit. But I am uncertain if I would loose any of my
32-bit AOO existing files and/or templates.
How should I proceed if I go ahead with the 64-bit AOO installation?
Will I loose any 32-bit AOO files/templates? Are there any practical
advantages included in AOO-64 over AOO-32?
Your suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading this. Stay well and be safe.
VinceB.

I will look within C:\\Program Files for the 64-bit jre and within the
C:\\ Program Files(x86) for the 32-bit jre.
I did an update today; within Program Files > Java, showing these folders:
1. jre1.8.0.241 and
2. jre1.8.0.251, now.
AFAIK, the versions I gave in my OP for AOO and LO are the latest. I am
on a *n*ormal Release Distribution.

The OP was writing about the Windows and currently there is no 64bit
edition of AOO for Windows.

One practical advantage is that the 64-bit version works in Mac Caralina?

Where did you acquire this misinformation. For years I have had both 32

Provided you tell AOO to use the 32bit JRE and LO to use the 64bit JRE

Re[2]: Java Version
Posted by Amin Jacek Pędziwiater <am...@aol.com.INVALID>.
To configure the Java environment with the AOO package you only need to
open the settings tab (Tools>Options>Java) and wait for a moment until
the AOO automatically detects the installed JRE and select "Use a Java
runtime environment" and the detected version. If the AOO does not
automatically detect the installed environment you have to use "Add"
button and manually indicate the location of the folder where the JRE is
located. After saving the settings, the AOO functionality requiring a
JRE should work without problems.

Not necessarily.

Go to Tools | Options.. | OpenOffice | Java | Java options. "Use a
Java runtime environment" needs to be ticked *and* and entry in the
panel below (wait for it to be populated) needs to be explicitly selected.

Easier than using Base:
o Open OpenOffice Help - using the button in the Standard toolbar or
by pressing F1.
o Click the Find tab.
o Type something in the "Search term" box.
o Click Find.
If your JRE is working, you will see some results - or possibly a "No
topics found" message.
If a JRE is not selected, you will see an "Enable JRE" error message.
(You can toggle it on there.)
I trust this helps.

When you go to Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> Java you need to wait a
little while for the JRE to be found.

I think you mean C:\Program Files(x86) with only one backslash.
The attachment (striped by he list server) shows a snippet from Windows
file manager on one of my Windows 10 machines.
If you have the 32bit JRE installed AOO will normally find it.

need the 32 bit jre if you are using the 64 bit version of LibreOffice
you need the 64 bit version. Which one gets used at least for Apache
OpenOffice is set in Tools->Options->Java.

Hi Vince,
there should be no issue in having a 32 bit version and a 64 bit
version on disk.
LibreOffice and OpenOffice can coop very well next to each other. If you
get issue let us know.
All the Best
