A. it makes LibreOffice easier to build, to not require Java

Count me in too.  I too am having a java issue at the moment, and have
to build --without-java.  I had had no problems building with java ever
(using the sun jdk downloaded from their site) for the past x years, but
for some reason recent 3.3 builds gave me some build issues with java
which I couldn't figure out in reasonable time.  So, I decided to build
--without-java in the meantime.

Yes, I could have investigated further to see what the issue was, but
I'm not that well versed with java, not as much as I do with C++, so my
comfort level drops when faced with java issues.

As for whether or not to make --without-java a default, well, we know
that --with-java enables it anyway for us experienced builders, so I
don't see a problem with disabling it by default.

And indeed, as Caolan said, the java situation is somewhat messy on SUSE
platforms, where multiple jdk implementations are provided, gcj,
openjdk, sun-jdk, and ibm-jdk.  Anyhow...
