with JRE or without JRE

為什麼我的電腦打不開這個WORD檔?,十萬火急地趕過去處理,結果又是docx搞的鬼,這是office2007最討厭的部份,把規格挷死又不相容2003,雖然可以裝個viewer就可打開,不過還是很麻煩,反正公司政策現階段是不會花這筆錢的,所以只好繼續用2003.
其實很早以前就想換OpenOffice,只是同仁們不捧場,老板不怎支持,不然幹嗎花那麼多錢去買個龐然大物回來用,這錢花下去,雖不是自己的錢,還是很心疼的.
OOo3.1的rc1 release了,當然要昇級,看會不會乎然跳出來的蟲,抓掉了沒,不過每次下載安裝檔及可攜版檔案時,總會思考一下,含JRE版還是不含,到底它差在那呢?

Java is required for some portions of the application to work properly - XSLT reliant materials, such as DocBook document creation is dependant on having a working Java Runtime Environment. To have a full-featured OpenOffice.org, the Java Runtime Environment should be installed before the OpenOffice.org package is installed; however, if it is installed afterwards, running jvmsetup will do the trick.

If you have downloaded the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and choose to upgrade to using the Software Development Kit (SDK), runing jvmsetup again to point to the "new" version of Java is what you need to do.

It has been known that some versions of Java do not necessarily work with Linux, especially some from the Blackdown archives (for Debian users). It is probably wise to keep up with what Sun distributes, and get it from the Sun website. A full list of missing features include:

* usage of JDBC drivers
* XSLT and small device filters
* usage of Java applets within OpenOffice.org
* lack of Java based languages in the scripting framework
* the database report wizard
* the flat file filter
* all of the Java related test-tools and qaTestDev (for QA work)
* accessibility features
