Unfortunately I have to say that I have the same problem.
In addition, the abandonment of the scm in core 5 does not allow me to update in the new core 5.
I use java-installer made by Arslan (by the way, he is absent for some time) and when I tried this did not work with libreoffice on the repository (dependant from sun-jre).
In this case the scm version save my life but now I'm stuck with its abandonment.
I wonder if it will be possible when we have stable core 5, having a script for java and libreoffice working with it.
Thanks
