As far as I'm concerned, LibreOffice Vanilla is built from the LibreOffice source without any change (hence the name Vanilla). https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/ says: 2.4.5 Apps distributed via the Mac App Store have some additional requirements to keep in mind: ... (viii) Apps should run on the currently shipping OS and may not use deprecated or optionally installed technologies (e.g. Java) So as far as I'm concerned, it is not possible to include Java based HSQLDB in LibreOffice Vanilla. Omission of Java is a technical limitation, not a commercially focused decision. Regards, Andras Timar
