Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 101005
Do not want java!

Your site used to provide the option to download OO w/ or w/o having Java installed.Although u mention "if u have java, u do not need to install it",there is no link that I can find to just download OO without the java installation integrated into the download. I already have the latest Java platform, and the last OO installation with Java caused a problem! Please simply as before!. Steelwolf
As a workaround, remember that, even if you download the bundled package, if you can avoid installing Java/JRE by choosing to perform a custom ("advanced") installation and then deselecting Java/JRE in the optional components list. At the end, you will get exactly the same result as if you installed the "without Java" package. Otherwise, just use http://download.openoffice.org/other.html and uncheck "Include Java/JRE".
Reset QA Contact to new default
Java (or better the JRE) is no longer included in any builds of Apache OpenOffice.
