[Solved] Java Run Time environment not recognised

[moriatynz]

I am trying to get a JRE recognised by OpenOffice 4.1.6 64 bit (installed using the DEBS from the installer), running on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (64 bit). I have tried installing a variety of different Java distros:

and none of them are recognised as being valid in OpenOffice:

If I try to manually add any jvm (32-bit or 64-bit) from any directory in the jvm tree, I get:

I can't use LibreOffice on this machine for reasons I won't bore you with here, but I really need Java to be recognised as I need to use JDBC. What am I missing, please?
Much obliged.

There is a problem with OO 4.1.6 recognising OpenJDK Java version 8u222 and later. If you install an earlier Java, you can upgrade to later Javas, and OO will recognise that it has a Java - it may complain, but extensions will work. This is being fixed in OO4.1.7 (under development)

Thank you so much RoryOF. You're a life saver! This definitely does the trick. I found an old repo that has a pre-8u222 jre: https://mirror.combahton.net/ubuntu/poo ... openjdk-8/
