I am currently building the latest SRPM of openoffice.org with java enabled (using Sun Java SDK version j2dk1.4.2_04-b05). If it builds, is anyone else interested in having the binary and source RPMS?
If there is an interest, maybe we can get it into the contrib section of the CentOS mirrors.
After it builds, I can verify the requirements ... but I think the only extra thing required will be the latest Sun Java Runtime Environment (at least j2re1.4.2_04) installed.
Thanks Johnny Hughes

Yes - that would be easy to do and useful for some people. There are lots of things I had intended to build for extras/contrib but ... no time ...

No Problem - we could do with a text file that says where to get it from i guess.

Most people with OpenOffice.org installed will probably already have the J2RE installed so they can use java with their web browser ... a text file named the same as the main rpm .README should be OK.
For a reason why you might want java with open office ... see this: http://www.bytebot.net/openoffice/faq.html#Installation1
