No, it's not fixed yet. I am still building OOo packages with an installed
Blackdown JDK. Peter is working on removing Java still. We have a much
easier task than Netbeans, since Java support is an optional extra, and very
little of the build is done using a Java compiler.
The majority of the packaging problems so far have been compilation
problems.
It is not necessary for users to install a JDK to run OOo, but that's not
good enough for main yet.
