+<h1>Java & Apache OpenOffice, OpenOffice.org</h1>
+
+<h3>Why Do I Need Java to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
+
+<p>Java is required for complete OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) functionality. Java is mainly required for the HSQLDB
+database engine (used by our database product Base) and to make use of accessibility and assistive technologies.
+Furthermore some wizards rely on Java technology. See additional topics pertaining to the use of Java in OpenOffice.org
+and Apache OpenOffice in the
+<a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Installation">Installation FAQ</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>So what does this mean exactly? Base (the database component) relies completely on Java technologies to run, but other
+programs (like Writer, Calc and Impress) only need Java for special functionality. If you do not need to use Base and do
+not want to use any of the Wizards, then you do not need to have Java installed and configured for running Apache
+OpenOffice (and older versions of OpenOffice.org). You can completely prevent OpenOffice from prompting you about the use
+of Java by telling OpenOffice not to use a Java runtime environment (JRE). From the OpenOffice main menu use:
+<strong>"Tools - OpenOffice.org - Java"</strong>, and uncheck "Use a Java runtime environment". However, we do recommend
+that you have a JRE on your system to take full advantage of OpenOffice's features without any issues.
+</p>
+
+<p><b>Legacy versions of OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 and older included a JRE packaged with the download. Apache OpenOffice
+3.4.0 and newer do not.</b>
+</p>
+
+<h3>Which Java Version Do I Need to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
+
+<p>You will need to have a JRE version (32-bit or 64-bit) that is compatible with the architecture of the Apache
+OpenOffice version you downloaded. If you already have a JRE installed on your system that satisfies this requirement in
+one of the standard areas for Java installation, OpenOffice should detect this installation and let you choose it for use
+in OpenOffice via the <strong>"Tools - OpenOffice.org - Java"</strong>. If you have a JRE installed that is not detected,
+you should be able to add it through this same menu. And, you can install a JRE or configure OpenOffice to use Java at any
+time to get missing functionality to work.
+</p>
+
+<p><b>Important note for Apache OpenOffice on Windows:</b>
+</br>
+The Windows version of OpenOffice is 32-bit and requires a 32-bit JRE. You must install a 32-bit JRE even if you already
+have a 64-bit JRE installed.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Where Can I Get Java?</h3>
+<p>The current versions of Apache OpenOffice work reliably with a variety of JREs including
+<a href="http://java.com">Oracle Java, versions 6 and 7</a> and <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/">openJDK, versions 6 and
+7</a>. Feel free to download a JRE from either of these sites if you feel you need this functionality.
+</p>
+
+<!--
+take this out for now
+<p><strong>The current version, Apache OpenOffice 3.4, has reported problems with using the 32-bit JRE on 64-bit Windows 7
+systems. However, this problem can not be reproduced in all cases. Java 1.7 is the latest Java from Oracle.</strong>
+</p>
+-->
+
+<p>Please report any problems you experience with using Java on OpenOffice through our bug reporting system,
+<a href="https://issues.apache.org/ooo/">Bugzilla</a>, or one of the other support venues listed in the
+<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/support/">Apache OpenOffice Support</a> webpage, either the users list or forums.
+</p>
