Installing LibreOffice without Java

This is Ubuntu on Launchpad - for Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is based on Debian. Ubuntu does not use rpm.

You would be better to ask somewhere where they used Fedora.

LibreOffice comes out of OpenOffice. OpenOffice needs Java to work properly. Will LibreOffice without Java even work?

@arochester
libreoffice will work without java. if you don't need all the messaging and emailing features, you don't need java.

@jeb
as arochester said, this is a ubuntu forum. fedora has their own community supported forum so you're better off asking there because, as arochester said, ubuntu use deb packages and fedora uses rpm, whichi are totally different.

@arochester and @marcus: please remember there is an active team who subscribed openoffice.org.
I read recently that Java is needed only for few functionalities in OpenOffice and people of LibreOffice are currently rewriting software to remove this dependency.

Fedora uses yum to install it's packages.

Regarding Java maybe there is the same option as in OpenOffice to turn it off.

> Office runs too slowly for you. OpenOffice is quite a bit faster on startup. (To make it run even more quickly, you can turn off Java. Go to Tools > Options. Select Java from the menu. Deselect "Use Java Runtime enviroment". Apply. It will certainly run much faster after you do so.) <
