Hi :) I think OpenJDK http://openjdk.java.net/ is owned by Oracle. Also JDK = Java Development Kit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK So it's going to expect you to want to install a few other bits&bobs which you probably don't need because you are not interested in doing coding in java (well you might be but it doesn't sound like it so far). JRE = Java Runtime Environment Presumably there is one of these inside the OpenJDK7 but i couldn't find a separate OpenJRE. So, there is a huge amount i don't know about java. If you can untick the java from your LibreOffice and have no troubles then that would be fantastic.

Tom:Damn. I was under the impression that OpenJDK was a free implementation by someone other than Oracle. I'll untick Java in LO and see what happens. I'd like to be Java free. No make that Oracle free. I dislike them far more than I dislike Java.
I taught computer science from 1978 to 2004 and saw our department move from Fortran to Pascal to C++ then take a huge step backward and go to Java. I retired rather than learn Java. Lots of other good reasons to retire too but that's the story I tell.
So I don't know much about Java either. Many thanks for the correction.
