I built OpenOffice 2.0.2 and already had Java and windows on my machine. Everything went fine. In fact I have now loaded it on my new machine. Java does not run unless needed. Right now my machine is sitting at 98% idle. The version of 2.0.2 that I down loaded was the one w/o Java since was already on my computer.
Maybe your download got messed up somehow.
