regarding a, c in go-oo 2.4.x they just say "please install jre
package" see attachement

and b,d they are not included in the livecd they are in a separated
package, anyway who needs ooo-base in a livecd, fedora livecd don't
ship any replacement ooo-base

I'm not asking to make the striped openoffice the default, I'm asking
to make the default behaviour in comps to be full featured, but
packages dependency should allow removal of java for spinners like me,
ie. rpm -qpR openoffce.org-{core,writter,impress,calc} should not
mention any java dependency
