The OOo build require the jvm setup, but will work without java.
This should be doable.

This should be a rpm switch that pathes and add --disable-java to
configure, or doesn't patch and leaves java enabled.
Better still would be autodetection of the require java for building,
and building correctly for a given system.
Once a java capable build is there, post-install and or the OOo-setup,
should check for JVM and configure it. This detection starts to get
tricky, so perhaps use a system wide "default JVM" setting, say in
/etc/sysconfig.
Fo now though, building with java, and at least allowing users to run
jvmsetup (renamed as ooo-jvm-setup?) would be a good start. Trying to
get the OOo builds to integrate with the Red Hat builds is a mess.
