--- Comment #1 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <ar...@apache.org> ---
If you are trying to create a default, embedded database, then you need Java,
because the default database uses HSQLDB, a Java based database package. If you
don't want to use Java, you can connect to databases using drivers, like ODBC,
that don't require Java.

About Java in WIndows 7, note that in Windows 64 bit, OpenOffice is 32 bit
application, this means you have to install a JRE 32 bits, too.

Second, the JRE 7 has a bug on Windows: it doesn't install the required
VisualStudio redistribuable.

Simply follow the advice in
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

"Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 support Java 7, which is the recommended
configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings
about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. [...]"

You need to download and install this file from Windows site:
