JRE FOR LIBREOFFICE MANUAL
This is why you have to use the manual download link. Thus, be aware that 'standard' build, with a naming scheme like JavaSetup8u341.exe will NOT work with LibreOffice.

To find other available downloads, including 64-bit JRE, you need to ignore the Big green "Download Java" button, and find a small See all Java 8 Downloads for Desktop users link below.Ĭhoose the correct direct downlad link, depending of your LibreOffice installation. In this case, LibreOffice (of reasonably fresh version) would try to be helpful in its "JRE Required" error message, telling you that it needs specific architecture (e.g., 64-bit) of JRE. Take care that you download from the Java home page (the right architecture. When you have installed a 64-bit LibreOffice, and 32-bit JRE, LibreOffice would not be able to find and use the JRE, no matter how hard you would try it. LibreOffice can only use JRE with matching architecture: i.e., 64-bit LibreOffice can only use 64-bit JRE, and 32-bit LibreOffice can only use 32-bit JRE. You may check the architecture of installed LibreOffice in menu Help ▸ About LibreOffice, where the version string looks like "Version: 6.4.5.2 ( 圆4)" for 64-bit version, and "Version: 6.4.5.2 ( x86)" for 32-bit version.
