I hope not. Most users will have java installed (for browsers etc) and
adding a java install created untold issues on OOo. It adds bloat (IMO)
to the install. Perhaps instead a 'heads-up note to user' during the
install that java is still required for many features/functions (wizards
etc) would be a better solution.

Just add a README file notifying them that they should install java
first, or if added later to enable JRE in Tools|Options. Hopefully LO
will be able to eventually clear the code & make java completely optional.
