Is this needed for the build or can it be built and JDK added later ?

Actually, my question is simpler: I use debian, I have debian sid version
of OpenOffice. I have the IBM JDK in /usr/local, can I setup that OOo to
use that JDK or was it built in such a way that no JDK can be used ?

(BTW. What kind of functionality Java brings to OOo that you don't have
in the first place ?)
