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.

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.

With Warmest Regards
