I read somewhere an article that stated there were issues with Openjdk.  
Some issues were that it did not work like Sun's Java in some aspects 
that effect the software that need Java.  It stated that until those 
issues are fixed, you should not use it for several software 
applications, including LibreOffice.  I do not know what the Openjkd is 
doing for the Java user community, but for me if both are free, I will 
use Sun's Java for the near future.  But, Sun's Java had big problems a 
few years ago, and the newest one at that time would not install 
correctly on my Windows machine, so maybe Openjdk will be a good thing 
in the future, but not now for LibreOffice on my systems.

Of course, I do not like PPA installs and prefer not to use them.  So I 
am a little biased about the subject.
