I am trying to create my first macro with LibreOffice version 6.1.6.3 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.14.5. Adobe master collection cc for mac os. When I select menu item 'Tools | Macros | Run Macro' I get this popup box: 'LibreOffice requires Oracle's Java Development Kit (JDK) on Mac OS X 10.10 or greater to perform this task. Please install them and restart LibreOffice.' However, the title of the popup box is 'JRE Required'.

I found a potential answer to this problem in the question 'Mac Java problem when creating a database' but the detailed directions talk about installing the JDK. The error messages I got in the popup implied that I need both the JDK and the JRE.

Installing Oracle JDK for MacOS via Homebrew 05 Feb 2019 MacOS has OpenJDK installed by default however I prefer to use Oracle’s version of JDK because its the official version. I don’t want to install it the same way Oracle instructs it on their docs as I find it very tedious. The JDK is a development environment for building applications, applets, and components using the Java programming language. The JDK includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language and running on the Java platform. Important Oracle JDK License Update. Oracle provides JDK and JRE installers for multiple platforms including macOS. Over the years since acquiring Sun, Oracle has combined the best parts of the two JVM engines, HotSpot and JRocket, and merged them into the OpenJDK project used as the basis for their own branded implementations of Java. The JDK is a development environment for building applications, and components using the Java programming language. The JDK includes tools useful for developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language and running on the Java platform. Important Oracle JDK License Update.

I'm trying to get the new 1.7 JDK working with Eclipse (this is Oracle's official release). I don't mean just pointing Eclipse to it so you can use it in projects, this works fine, but.

When I install the JDK will I also get a copy of the JRE? What are the current instructions for installing the needed Oracle libraries if I want to use macros?

Thanks, bobby

Company of heroes 2 guide. When I install the JDK will I also get a copy of the JRE?

You can easily develop or draw a map however you want to make. Mapper for mac download software. Also, you can use it anywhere at any time because it works like software as a service. Its ease and simplicity make it more popular around the world.

Yes. As I understand, Oracle doesn’t provide a JRE alone. Sorry, I can’t give any other pointer as I don’t use Mac.

@gabix There is a JRE for Mac OS X (current versions filename is jre-8u221-macosx-x64.dmg), but LibreOffice can't deal with that.

I meant the current Java, not the old Java 8.

E-bot, why not repost it as an answer?

Since I work with Windows and not with Mac, I only saw it as an additional hint. And the question was already marked as solved. If it still helps, so much the better. Have all your joy in it.
