Hi :)
LibreOffice does not include any version of java.  The _19 is quite old so
you might want to get a more recent one from the Oracle website.  The best
one for LibreOffice is the _21 but you might want to have 2 versions; one
for your web-browsers and a separate one for LibreOffice.  If you can't find
the _21 then we might be able to help.  

Hopefully you don't need java at all for LibreOffice.  Try un-ticking the
box in
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Java
If anything grumbles when you open it then you can always tick it again and
re-open the document.  If you can do without Java then you will find the
LibreOffice opens up faster.

Java used to be owned by the same organisation that owned OpenOffice so
including a version of java was uncomplicated.  Now that java is owned by a
3rd party, Oracle, there is potential for them to try to make things
awkward.  The licence is currently ok but we don't know what direction they
are going to move in.  That's not why java dependence is being written out
of the code tho.  The main reasons seem to be that it is slow, heavy and
unnecessary.  
Regards from
Tom :)
