JRE warning on startup ...

Hi guys,

	There have been a number of complaints about JRE's being required
during install, with the infamous and horribly unpleasant:

	"LibreOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to
	 perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart
	 LibreOffice"

	IMHO - showing this is utterly unacceptable; and I finally lost
patience with it :-)

	Since we switched ~everything to passive registration, I believe this
comes from the bundled extension help indexing on very-first-start.

	IMHO it would be far better to have no help for the couple of
extensions we bundle, rather than this hideous first-start user
experience.

	Then again, prolly we can throw this exception down the plughole in the
help indexer. Pushed to the TSC agenda ...

	HTH,

		Michael.
