No, it's not fixed yet. I am still building OOo packages with an installed Blackdown JDK. Peter is working on removing Java still. We have a much easier task than Netbeans, since Java support is an optional extra, and very little of the build is done using a Java compiler. The majority of the packaging problems so far have been compilation problems. It is not necessary for users to install a JDK to run OOo, but that's not good enough for main yet.
