I know this is not the issue here, but JRE in not-localizable (Sun only provides some localizations, community cannot add other ones) so it is very questionable to add a non-localizable package to a OOo localized build (at least for languages that aren't supported by JRE like Slavic languages). I think Sun should be pressured to localize or allow localization of JRE by the community, but that would be possible after they change the licensing etc.
