Description Unknown 2002-05-18 14:24:00 UTC 
In case you install on a PC with no Java/Javascript support,
OpenOffice 1.0 readily displays that you don't have java/javascript support,
but it fails to mention the most useful part:
which components exactly in OpenOffice require exactly which type of java*
support exactly why.
A short addition like "Java is required by word processing for
yaddayaddayadda..., Javascript required by..." might help.
You get the point...

Users might want to know whether and why "it's useful"
to install java* support.

Also, some hinting at which java components there are available for
install/compatible with OpenOffice would probably be cool, too.

Thanks for a great product !

Hi Falko,
do you think that we give more information to the user at setup what
he can do with Java in OOo?

Add more information about why Java is needed by OO.o (and what is not
working in case of no Java installed).

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
