Hi :)
I think OpenJDK
http://openjdk.java.net/
is owned by Oracle. Also
JDK = Java Development Kit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK
So it's going to expect you to want to install a few other bits&bobs which
you probably don't need because you are not interested in doing coding in
java (well you might be but it doesn't sound like it so far).
JRE = Java Runtime Environment
Presumably there is one of these inside the OpenJDK7 but i couldn't find a
separate OpenJRE.
So, there is a huge amount i don't know about java. If you can untick the
java from your LibreOffice and have no troubles then that would be
fantastic.

Damn. I was under the impression that OpenJDK was a free implementation
by someone other than Oracle. I'll untick Java in LO and see what
happens. I'd like to be Java free. No make that Oracle free. I dislike
them far more than I dislike Java.
I taught computer science from 1978 to 2004 and saw our department move
from Fortran to Pascal to C++ then take a huge step backward and go to
Java. I retired rather than learn Java. Lots of other good reasons to
retire too but that's the story I tell.
So I don't know much about Java either.
Many thanks for the correction.
