Comments on:

aren't exactly stellar...

That said, LO 3.4.1 shows that Report Builder 1.2.1 is installed (and
working):
/opt/libreoffice3.4/share/extensions/report-builder
and the readme_en-US.txt file shows:
<quote>
System Requirements

* A recent version of Oracle Open Office or OpenOffice.org
* A recent version of the Java(TM) Runtime Environment
</quote>

And these are the only 'java' that I have installed:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                  Priority   Status
