OpenOffice is usually not in a modern disto like Wheezy. Instead it uses 
LibreOffice. I have LibreOffice and openjdk working fine in Wheezy with 
or without Gnome (I normally use KDE but installed Gnome to try it out 
and to use when KDE gives me problems in Wheezy).

If openjdk is replacing a different jdk, it could be that the 
removal/reinstallation is really updating the jdk setup and links.
