If you install the desktop task you also get OpenOffice.org that depends

So, to use Open Office, Java is needed?
I understood that Open Office could be run without Java, unless a person
wanted to use the Open Office database.
If you install a desktop task then the openoffice.org meta package is
installed and that depends on all of the openoffice packages which
also depends on a java JDK.
You can install the openoffice items separately thereby not requiring
Java to be installed.

Which is yet another reason that many of us want them to reinstate Star
Office 5.2.
It was far superior to Open Office, and, did not require Java, unless
the database was to be used, from memory, although I had had a database
running in at least one version of Star Office 5.x, without Java.
