Agree; yet it's not useful to re-ask user every time if user's decision to
disable Java is OK or not.

Compare two scenarios:

A.
0. User disables Java
1. User loads an extension (say, LanguageTool)
2. The extension needs Java to work, and tries to run some Java code
3. User gets a proper warning, because the user's intention to run the
extension (internally, run the specific piece of Java code) contradicts with
"disable Java" setting.

B.
0. User disables Java
1. User opens macros list when assigning them to customized menu
2. User does not see Java macros there, because UI follows the user setting.

IMO, the B. is absolutely fine, and doesn't lead to confusion. If user needs to
see Java code that isn't already used somewhere (which usage would already
warn, as in A.), then it's OK to expect user to enable Java to see them, not to
nag user every time LO lists available providers.
