-2. A number of Java Development Kits are suitable for building LibreOffice.
- Since Slackware-15.0 and LiberOffice-7.3.1.3 the default JDK is zulu-openjdk11.
- Other JDKs will probably work if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set
- appropriately in a file in /etc/profile.d/, where this SlackBuild will search.
