I don't think this is the case (or http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Accessibility is lying). It should work out-of-the-box without java, once the right libs are linked to the binary. Java is installed and the JRE is configured correctly in the openoffice options. But I don't think you really need it for accessibility, for gnome accessibility, you should just need the at-spi bridge compiled in. Maybe the Debian package from the official openoffice mirrors lacks this feature? Has anyone before tried to use OO2.3 with orca yet?
