Description
--without-junit: This switch disables the tests for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java. If you wish to build this driver replace this switch with the set of switches described below under '--with-java'.
We don't have a --with-java explanation, I'm not sure which set of switches should be referred to.

Note that I like libreoffice build system: they say that HSQLDB is deprecated, but they default to build it if they find a java VM, unless you pass --without-java...

One problem that I've run into in the past is that the build breaks if --without-java is not passed and java is not installed.

Hmm, this should be tested now that they say that HSQLDB is deprecated... Just a (up to) 2 hour long test.

I think that java is used for some other things. Their wiki mentions the following (as of 6.0):
Non-Linear solver built-in extension in Calc (there is an experimental Swarm solver that doesn't depend on Java)
MediaWiki extension (Wiki Publisher)
Support for scripts and extensions written in Java/Beans

Well, there is a text for --without-java, and the switches referred to are the following ones. Maybe a better text would be:
... with the set of switches described below after --without-java
Thanks. I've taken that, and also tweaked working re gtk options, in r21959.

I assume nobody wants to actually try that out, so I'll close the ticket.
