If you want to use JAVA, the openoffice site has 1.9 which requires java 
to run base.

You might also want to test out the rpms hat might be a part of FC4 at 
the below location.

http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/openoffice.org2

They work somewhat, but are tests and I had success with creating dbase 
type tables, but not forms yet.

As a note, the openofficeorg rpms crashed periodically on both wintel 
and linux versions.

If oo for FC3 has java support off, you might compile from source or try 
to get the stable rlease version from openoffice.org.
