According to wikipedia following functionality depends on JRE:
--
* The media player on Unix-like systems
* All document wizards in Writer
* Accessibility tools
* Report Autopilot
* JDBC driver support
* HSQL database engine, which is used in OpenOffice.org base
* XSLT filters
* BeanShell, the NetBeans scripting language and the Java UNO bridge
* Export filters to the Aportis.doc (.pdb) format for the Palm OS or Pocket
Word (.psw) format for the Pocket PC
* Export filter to LaTeX
--
But a lot of people don't want to install jre at all. And the question is not in
the java license (it's GPL now). But the problem is rather in some technical
details. Many people just don't want to have java and I guess that everybody
become irritated because of the startup delay caused by java initialization. I
am a java developer but I think that basic office suite functionality should not
require jre.
Can we expect to have basic office functionality (used in 90% of all cases) do
not require java? I mean that it's ok to require java for some of the elements
like JDBC driver support or HSQL database engine. But why should document
wizards depend on jre?
Thanks,
Serhiy
