Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 1177
Asks for Java, doesn't specify version.
Last modified: 2003-12-06 14:52:34 UTC
During the installation of OO 6.0 build(s) 632 and 627, as well as Star Office 5.2, the installer attempts to locate Java, and offers the user the "browse" button if it doesn't find it (well, even if it does). It never specifies that the java version must be 1.2 or greater, leading to some confusion. Mot a major issue, since this is documented somewhere, but still.
Hi Kay, I think it's up to you to fix this bug.
This appears to be in /oo_632_src/setup2/source/custom/jvmsetup/jvmdlg.src At line 386 (in the oo_632 source code distribution) there it mentions java 1.2, but I believe the line I saw was from line 540 (Message [ ENGLISH ] = "No Java Runtime Environment was found.") or 541 (same line except english_us). Another possibility is lines 795/796. There is also some rather...difficult language constructs used in lines 940/941. The phrase "In this dialog select" is a bit awkward, it would be better to have "In this dialog box select". This reoccurs several times (lines 970/971 for instance). If you'd like I can make the fixes and send you a diff file.
Hi Olli, i thing this belongs to you.
changing QA contact from bugs@ to issues@
reassigning to dirk - I don't think Oliver will work on these issues any more.
I'll check this
In my opinion we should extend the information text, located on the Java setup dialog by a minimum required version number. In that case the text would change as follows: GER ...benötigt %Productname%Productverion die Unterstützung durch ein Java Runtime Environment in der Version 1.3.1 oder höher. EN ...support of a Java Runtime Environment version 1.3.1 or later is needed. If you think the proposal is OK, please send the task to Elizabeth so that she could add the string to her data base. Thanks.
The proposal looks fine to me.
JA: re-prioritized according to new priority guide lines
Elizabeth->CJ: Please quote the entire text so I can find the old one in the database. Then send to me at the "EM" account, please. Thx. Note to Petro: In StarOffice we do not say "dialog box" but simply "dialog". This is not an error.
Now the whole enchilada: GERMAN Um eine vollständige Funktionalität zu garantieren, benötigt %Productname%Productversion die Unterstützung durch ein Java Runtime Environment in der Version 1.3.1 oder höher. ENGLISH To provide full functionality in %PRODUCTNAME %PRODUCTVERSION, support of a Java Runtime Environment version 1.3.1 or later is needed.
.
Elizabeth->DV: Sorry it took so long! THe strings to check in at [Text] and [English_us] are as follows. Please enter /n line breaks if necessary. GERMAN Um eine vollständige Funktionalität zu garantieren, benötigt %PRODUCTNAME %PRODUCTVERSION die Unterstützung durch ein Java Runtime Environment in der Version 1.3.1 oder höher. ENGLISH To provide full functionality in %PRODUCTNAME %PRODUCTVERSION, support of a Java Runtime Environment version 1.3.1 or later is needed.
