The online version comes with java builtin as LO and OO can ship it.
What you'll find is there are several addition packages you can add to
get the online version.

So how come prior versions were able to use Evolution
Addressbook by default then?<br>

<div>At one point StarOffice had a built in email client which I
*think* shares a fair bi t of architecture with Evolution. It
was dropped in version 4, before Sun bought it, but the
address book remained so it would appear that when Evolution
and its data storage system were integrated with Gnome, the
API was still there.</div>

<div>The change to Unity also includes a change to Desktop Couch
as the storage engine, principally because Evolution is still
owned by Novell. However, LibreOffice is still the same
codebase as in the pre-Oracle days so I would think it's not
going to be straightforward to introduce a new storage engine
as a plugin. I have this terrible feeling that at first it
might have to be an ODBC data provider...</div>

OK so why don't Canonical just provide the version of LO that comes
direct from the LO website?<br>
