There are no hooks in the Writer module that require Java per se.  There 
are hooks in various places that extensions written in Java could tap into.

AFAICS, the only bundled extension coming with stock LO 5.1 for Mac that 
is written in Java is the NLPSolver, but it should not require Java to 
be available during start of LO, only when trying to use that feature.

But one can have (non-bundled) extensions installed from previous 
versions of LO that require Java, even so that they require Java 
directly at (first) start of LO 5.1.
