AFAIK, Java is optional and is used to extend core LO functionality.

Are the warnings you get related to Java-based extensions? If yes and you're on Windows, there's a thread with a suggestion to improve the LibreOffice installer

Unfortunately, that thread seems to be unnoticed/ignored by LO developers.
