Hello Joachim,
openjdk-6-jre is Sun’s Java, in the version recently put under a free

Thanks for the explanation. I will try asap to check out the behavior of
DITA OT when OpenJDK is used.
A note just in a case, if DITA OT does not work properly:
1. It would be impossible to generate Serna documentation (on Serna
build stage)
2. Publishing of DITA documents from the Serna will be broken (it is
obvious :))

3rd-party tools are used by Serna components and might be missed, so Serna
itself can easily run w/o them.
w/o xsltproc: user will not be able to publish Docbook and some other
documents to HTML.
w/o DITA OT: user will not be able to publish DITA documents to HTML and
PDF.
But it is better to have these tools installed, because out-of-the-box
document publishing is a one of Serna's key features.
That's all -- there are no other tools used by Serna AFAIR.
Thanks,
