No it's not broken I've just compiled a couple of days ago on an
updated (as of 12/4/04) 5.3-stable system

Yes this I agree with this, what I did was get java to compile first,
(I installed every type of jdk14 in the java ports tree) but the one
that worked was /usr/ports/java/jdk14, try to make && make install
that port, if you are unsuccessful pay attention to the error and edit
the Makefile. (I seem to recall a problem with printf, and I *think* I
commented out the lines with printf and did a make it errored out
again eventually so uncommented those lines and everything installed.)
Once that is done openoffice any other number of java applications
should install and compile fine.
