Funny, this was discussed in Debian Weekly News not so long ago
(googling, gotcha, December 17th, 2002):
"Why OpenOffice.org is not in Main? (...snip...) Steve Langasek
explained that the package currently depends on specific non-free
Java implementations, but Guido Guenther [29]mentioned that Red Hat
builds OpenOffice.org with gjc only."

RMS asked about the following:
I've heard that OpenOffice includes Java programs that cannot be
built with GCJ. This has the consequence that a free GNU/Linux
system including OpenOffice is not self-hosting.
Do you know what's the actual situation here? If the above is indeed
the case, I understood he'd like talking to someone who is interested in
investigating the details of what needs to be done to allow OpenOffice
being built with GCJ.
