    AFAIK Libreoffice only uses Java for limited things and isn’t a requirement.

    Pretty sure it’s mostly C++

      Correct, Java is only needed for (letter) templates and macros.
      I used it for years without any JVM installed… until I wanted to use a template. :(

        Macros should work without JVM. But a few extensions (like the NLP Solver and LanguageTool) require Java.

      Okay this is interesting, but still slow as hell to launch and it does fell like a Java app in a lot of ways. Funky UI behaviors like flickering and delays here and there…
