To sum up for a fresh 8.04.1 install:
After fresh 8.04.1 install, installed ubuntu-restricted-extras which among others installed packages java-common, sun-jave6-bin, sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-plugin. Upon checking, OpenOffice has no JRE installed (Tools-options-Java), even though the box is ticked.

After installing openoffice.org-java-common, then restarting OpenOffice, OpenOffice now has JRE.

I think for fresh installs, the package openoffice.org-java-common should be added among the packages in ubuntu-restricted-extras.
