We do not want to bundle JRE into LibreOffice Windows installer. 
1) size
2) uncertainty around the license

well, about size I cannot comment, hovever license is permitted by oracle, and
there is also a list of files in the jdk that you can remove, if you don't need
it. see here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/readme/index.html
As an example for JRE 7:

To run your application, a user needs the Java SE Runtime Environment,
which is freely available from Oracle. Or, you can redistribute the
Java SE Runtime Environment for free with your application, according
to the terms of the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for the Java 
SE Platform Products.
<...cut...>
The files that make up the Java SE Runtime Environment are divided into
two categories: required and optional.  Optional files may be excluded
from redistributions of the Java SE Runtime Environment at the
vendor's discretion.

so the license is not a problem. the only problem is size, but this feature can
resolve quite some problems of compatibility with users' systems (and don't
forget ease of use: just install LO, don't bother woth Java). So maybe it's
worth reevaluating.

Thanks.
