If you choose to use Java programs, you'll obviously need Java for them.
But Debian doesn't come with anything that requires a Java interpreter

If you install the desktop task you also get OpenOffice.org that depends
on a Java JRE.
So, to use Open Office, Java is needed?
I understood that Open Office could be run without Java, unless a person
wanted to use the Open Office database.
