That was the critical observation. Despite installing a host of
java-related components, it does not install a browser plugin. I
installed it just now and tested with Chromium and Firefox at Java.com's
"Do I have Java" verification page -- it came up empty.
Thanks!

This is normal. Some components and the assistent to create letters is still
usong java I guess.
My question would be why do you think this is an security risk ?
As far as I see it only installs the runtime engine and no browserplugin.

This is in 13.04 Raring. I was looking at the dependent packages that are
installed with the LibreOffice metapackage. Various references to JRE (Java
Runtime Environment) and Java.

John, how long ago was this? I can't give you a reference, but I don't think
LibreOffice 4 installs any type of Java at all. It's possible this happened
with much older versions and before Oracle changed some legal stuff about
Oracle which even caused Canonical to drop Oracle's Java from the repos.

I forget if I asked this question some time back, but if I did, I don't
remember that the matter was settled.
I wanted to add LibreOffice to an installation for the sake of better MS Office
file compatibility and to gain a presentations program, but it looks like
LibreOffice will install Java. It seems to me that this must open a security
risk. But I recall also doing some reading that indicated Java might be
removed and most common LibreOffice functions will work just fine (I think the
notable exception being the Base database).
Can someone clarify/amplify?
