AFAIK, you can't distribute it freely, the license forbids it.
Several components of LibreOffice depend on JRE and I encounter many
warning message boxes on start up without it, so I it's important to
make sure that a free version exists.
The messages are pretty scarry indeed, but can be ignored most of the times.
Java is not needed for basic features.
* Is there a free binary build of JRE for Windows?
* Is there any plans to release a LibreOffice+JRE version, the way
OpenOffice.org does it?
I'll let other people speak about general/windows plans.
For the DragonFly port, my intention is to remove Java dependencies as best
as I can.
I don't want to inflict the pain of building a jdk on our users.
