I don't have a Java VM installed, and LO works fine without it for all tasks I use. However: Every time I install a new version, during the first time LO starts after that I get 4-5 error messages telling me that Java is required for some component. If I ignore these messages they won't show up any more until the next version of LO is installed, so I assume the lack of Java VM is saved somewhere. Would it be possible to set some kind of "don't complain about missing java" flag during installation if there is no java VM installed? (sorry if duplicate, looked for "Java" in bugzilla, didn't find any entry)
