The warning

http://www.pangea.at/~ralph/enablejre.png

appears up to 15 times in sequence (maybe even more often) with 
exactly this wording. 

To see how a not all that unexperienced user interprets 
this program behaviour, please see issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41511

The bug for the real fix (warning should not appear more
than once) has been closed, see:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37020

At least the wording of this warning should be changed
as a measure to reduce the risk of data loss for users
(as explained in my comment in #37020).

No user should have to guess that a dialog has to be
clicked away 15 times. If he or she has to, please do tell 
him (or her).

I suggest adding a simple sentence like 

"If this warning appears repeatedly, please klick OK util it goes away"

Maybe even the "Cancel" button can be removed, because it does not.

Even if Sun does not ship StarOffice without Java, there
is a real risk of a user inadvertedly disabling/messing 
up the java installation, so this is also important for
the sold product.
