I don't need to do anything,  but you are welcome to hack at the code ;-)

Arrogant?  No, just reality of Oracle and Apples relationship and a lack of
effort on the part of Apple!

Until Oracle and Apple can not sort this out--external projects like
LibreOffice have no choice and we've now implemented a reasonable work
around (provided by folks responsible for NeoOffice). 

So, at the moment, sorry but you DO need the Java Runtime environment as
provided from a JDK.  Otherwise, I would say simply don't use Base and don't
select a Java runtime--but not sure if on the OS X builds you get the
option. When I get a moment I'll actually check.
