That of course neither installs -java-common nor a JDK because
it's not strictly needed.

But OOo starts? Note that a JRE is not mandatory.

Do you have some JRE installed?

No.

-java-common is only needed when you really need Java functionality.
So *of course* it is no dependency on impress.

Wrong.
if (errcode == JFW_E_NO_JAVA_FOUND)
{
fprintf(stderr,"javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! \n");
+ fprintf(stderr,"Please ensure that the package openoffice.org-java-common is installed.\n");
+ fprintf(stderr,"If it is already installed then try removing ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/javasettings_Linux_*.xml\n");
return false;
}
This is printed out when no Java is found. Which either might be
because openoffice.org-java-common is installed or
~/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/javasettings_Linux_*.xml has an obsolete
entry or really no Java is installed.
Note that we added the extra output ourselves, plain upstream just would
have printed "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! " without
any further info.

No, there's nothing to fix here AFAIS and the warning has its
sense (Base needs Java for the internal db, some wizards need Java,
some filters need Java,, some extensions do, ...)
This currently looks as "minor" to me. I'll tag it as "moreinfo", too
because I'd be interested if you had a JRE installed at all. I also
will just reserve the right to just close it because it's not a bug at
all in my eyes, iti correctly warns you that you don't have a working
Java configuration...
