In the package description: This package contains Sun's "Java Runtime
Environment", or JRE.

The dev kit is jdk1.1-dev

Hmmm.  I would first install the -dev deb and see if that works.  I
haven't installed OpenOffice.  During the StarOffice install it nags
about not finding the JRE but you can usually ignore that and keep
going.

Some places to check out:

http://people.debian.org/~nidd/debian/unstable/ (has 638 debs)
http://www.linux-debian.de/openoffice/ (has status of debian-openoffice)
http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2001/debian-openoffice-200110/msg00036.html 
(has first successful build)


ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary-i386/

has the JRE debs that might just do it for you.  Not sure which JRE you need.
