AOO crashes if JRE (Java) is not installed.

I found at least two cases:

Help System: use search in Help System.
Open Help. Click Search. Enter Search string. Click Search.
-> starts searching. Then a diolog box appears: 
OO needs JRE, please install and restart OO
after click OK AOO crashes

Writer:
insert a picture. Go to the properties/attributes of that picture. click Makros
-> a diolog box appears: 
OO needs JRE, please install and restart OO
after click OK AOO crashes

Also happens on FreeBSD, but not on Linux.

I've fixed the writer/picture issue in #127165. The cause was an exception not getting caught.

This one is a bit different. Still investigating.

Exception was getting thrown but not specified in throw().

Patch committed, resolving fixed.
