     I can confirm that Base requires Java (specifically, JRE). I can 
also confirm that Java is not installed with Base. You have to manually 
install Java yourself from www.java.com and then install it. So, you can 
do a default install of LibreOffice without having to worry about Java 
being installed on your computer. (The LibreOffice Window's download 
file does not contain the Java program.)
     One point about installing LibreOffice on Windows. Every time you 
install a new version of LibreOffice on Windows, you should first 
uninstall the older version of LibreOffice. There have been problems 
caused in the past because someone did not do this. For some reason, 
Windows wants only one version of LibreOffice installed.
