I forget if I asked this question some time back, but if I did, I don't
remember that the matter was settled.
I wanted to add LibreOffice to an installation for the sake of better MS
Office file compatibility and to gain a presentations program, but it
looks like LibreOffice will install Java.
John, how long ago was this? I can't give you a reference, but I don't
think LibreOffice 4 installs any type of Java at all. It's possible this
happened with much older versions and before Oracle changed some legal
stuff about Oracle which even caused Canonical to drop Oracle's Java from
the repos.
This is in 13.04 Raring. I was looking at the dependent packages that
are installed with the LibreOffice metapackage. Various references to
JRE (Java Runtime Environment) and Java.

I installed LibreOffice 4.0 Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID:
4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3) on Lubuntu 13.04 but I did it
**direct** from libreoffice.org. The only Java I see on my system with dpkg
--get-selections is "libobasis4.0-javafilter" ... just a filter. All other
instances of "java" ar
This is normal. Some components and the assistent to create letters is still
usong java I guess.
My question would be why do you think this is an security risk ?
As far as I see it only installs the runtime engine and no browserplugin.

That was the critical observation. Despite installing a host of
java-related components, it does not install a browser plugin. I
installed it just now and tested with Chromium and Firefox at Java.com's
"Do I have Java" verification page -- it came up empty.
Thanks!
