It should in almost all cases tell you "Please install the openoffice .org-java-common package for this functionality." if you try to use java functionality. It may be that you didn't trigger the message somehow. It wasn't added until openoffice.org 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu6 so I don't know if you had that version when you initially filed the bug report.
