Suggestions for LibreOffice page

Description

First, the LibreOffice page says to use the "--without-java" switch, but there is no reason given why. The command explanation says that it disables Java support, but there is no further elaboration on why you would want to do this. Is it because Java support is known to be buggy, or take up more resources, or is it just to avoid the need to install Java?

Second, the suggested configure command includes "--with-parallelism=$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)". This switch is redundant, as that is the default - the configure script uses exactly that command to determine the default number of parallel jobs. I suggest that this switch be removed from the recommended configure (or autogen) command, but still mentioned in the command explanations, noting that the user can add it to customize the number of jobs if they desire.

IIRC, it is just to avoid the need to install Java.

I think the suggestion concerning parallelism is valid.
