Actually, *at runtime* OOo doesn't depend on java at all. It's just the 
RUN_DEPENDS in the Makefile. In my own port, i have left them out 
intentionally. At runtime, in Options/Java you then can configure a JVM 
(including parameters and classpath) of your choice.

Note:
WIthout java, some functionality will be missing. E.g. the Wizards. If you 
invoke a function which depends on java and it can't find a JVM, a messagebox 
will pop up.

@kurt:
You probably should reconsider your recent change of dependencies. Even the 
system db4.jar should work nicely with a 1.5 JVM.
