LibreOffice installs Java and opens a security risk?

[Augustine Souza]

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.
