I see it as a problem that you have to install Java to run some of the things that is important for new users like running the database and the Writer wizards. When a new user has installed OOo then they might face that it is not working properly and gets error messages because an Java Runetime Environment isn't installed. Then they will not see OOo as a whole suite but a suite missing some key features when installed. It is also a problem that you can't sell OOo as a free solutions where you don't have to depend on one single company - one of the key features of Open Source. You are not depended on a single company strategy like putting fees on the runtime environment. I will suggest Sun to either license the Java Runtime Environment under a true Open Source and Free Software license or recode the parts of OOo which are depending on Java.
