Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Java dependencies

Your description is my understanding.  I just did a quick look on the 
download website and I cannot find any such information.  Why are these 
dependencies not prominently spelled out in the System Requirements or 
somewhere else on the download website page?
If they were, then the users would know what is needed for what.

You haven't mentioned the age-old need of Java for the "Accessibility" 
options.  Are these no longer dependent on Java?

I think the Report builder still would need it but Base experts seem to be advising people to avoid that anyway.  The internal back-end is HsqlDb which runs on Java even if you use the much more up-to-date version from their website as an external back-end.  There are other smaller faster ones for small amounts of data.  HsqlDb seems to be the best of those even though it depends on Java.  Non-java ones tend to be better for large amounts of data and include Postgresql and MySql / MariaDb.  These last 3 seem to be the most frequently recommended by the Base Experts.
