I have OpenOffice version 3 installed on my Mac and it does everything I need

I was considering updating OpenOffice 3 to Apache OpenOffice 4 but I noticed in
the readme file with ApacheOO download that version 4 requires the use of Java
for some operations. However, Java has been disconnected in Macs for security
purposes. So what limitations are there running ApacheOO 4 without Java?

You can still use Java on Macs. It is no longer installed by default but if an application
requires it you can download it from Apple. If they is an exploitation in Java, Apple disable
it on you computer until an update is available. It is best to disable the Java Runtime
Environment plug in in your browsers. The exploits I have heard about are through the browser.
