Its no different than having to "install/maintain" .Net.  I don't see the 
difficulty here, all the distro's have java available.  Its not like you have 
to go to Sun and download and install it yourself, like windows.

Besides Java is optional, you don't have to enable the scripting features.

You should prolly go and download OO.o 2.0.
