I'm afraid the Java parts of OpenOffice 1.1 only work if you build the 
binaries using a non-free Java compiler.  That would prevent OOo from being 
available in Ubuntu main, so these parts are disabled.  The situation will 
hopefully be better for the 2.0 release, where there some effort has gone 
into making OOo work with gcj.
