Debian's OOo package is *not* build with Java support since we would
need a non-free JDK for building which is not allowed for packages in
Debian main...

There is a *test* openoffice.org-java deb available at
http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/test/openoffice.org-java_1.1.2-2+java_i386.deb
which is supposed to be uploaded to Debian contrib someday to add the
Java features to OOo.
As announced in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2004/07/msg00187.html we need
feedback. Test it and tell us :-)
Grüße/Regards,
René
