xml file from Birt Report (with .xls extension) that could not be opened without Java

Apache Open Office 3.4.1 (AOO341m1 Build: 9593 Rev. 1372282) Final Russian UI/Locale on Russian Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit)

Here we have file, that could be opened only if Java is installed and "Use Java runtime environment" is enabled in AOO settings. If Java is installed, but "Use Java runtime environment" is disabled, then AOO displays the following notice (translated from Russian):
"Openoffice.org need installed Java runtime environment. Use of Java is disabled in program settings. Allow use of Java?". "Yes" or "No". If we select "No", we see General I/O error. If we select "Yes", file could be opened.

In LibreOffice Version 4.0.0.1 (Build ID: 527dba6f6e0cfbbc71bd6e7b88a52699bb48799) on Windows XP SP3 Russian that file could be opened even if Java is not installed or "Use Java runtime environment" is disabled.

This issue ie reproducible on Mac OSX 10.6.8.

Using the attachment 80146 [details], that could be opened only if Java is installed and "Use Java runtime environment" is enabled in AOO settings. If Java is installed, but "Use Java runtime environment" is disabled, then AOO displays the following notice (translated from Russian):
"Openoffice.org need installed Java runtime environment. Use of Java is disabled in program settings. Allow use of Java?". "Yes" or "No". If we select "No", we see General I/O error. If we select "Yes", file could be opened.

Not able to reproduce this behavior in AOO 3.4.1 on Windows 7 (32-bit) in en-US locale.  The file opens fine even with Java not enabled.

Could this be a bug specifically with the Russian version?

No, it only could be OS dependent bug

In AOO400m1(Build:9700)  -  Rev. 1479897 2013-05-21 12:47:39 (Di, 21 Mai 2013) en-US locale on Russian Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit) is still the same problem as was described with AOO 3.4.1.

I honestly don't see why this should be a bug.  An XML document is loaded.  To do that we create a UNO service that does an XSLT transformation.  This is currently implemented in Java.
The XSLT transformation could probably done without Java but that is a feature request at best.

Certainly this is not a release blocker.  Resetting the release blocker request.
