On my system, it should still be installed, as this was required on my iMac Late 2013 at the time. Don’t worry, there can be multiple JDKs installed on the macOS system.Īccording to the LanguageTool help center, it is a Mac-specific issue that additionally to Java 8 (or later) you may also need to have Java for OS X installed.

Instead of Java 8 you could try Java 11 or Java 17. You may find download links for choosing a JDK version of Oracle Java on this page. It should be known by now, but still the following note up front: LibreOffice releases available from the Apple App Store don’t include Java support at all, because apps distributed in the App Store are not allowed to depend on optional functionality like Java.Īccording to the TDF Wiki, using macOS 10.10 and newer you need to install JDK, not JRE. However, from my own experience, I know that there are some things to be aware of when using LibreOffice in combination with Java on a Mac. So it could be that the following is not necessarily true for your system. Therefore, our systems are probably not completely comparable. Using LanguageTool 5.6 does not give any error messages and the extension seems to work perfectly.įor hardware reasons, I still use macOS Catalina and not macOS Monterey like you.

I was able to install LanguageTool 5.6 without any problems and as after every update, I briefly tested the functionality of my LanguageTool installation with the LanguageTool test document. But since I was curious if the error you described also occurs with my LibreOffice installation, I just installed the extension manually today.Īnd I can give the all-clear, at least for my system. Normally I always wait with the installation of a new version of the LanguageTool extension until it is available in the LibreOffice Extension Center.
