Is LibreOffice dependency on Java 1.6 still valid?

I did it. It did not build.

First attempt was defining JAVA version 1.7 via /etc/make.conf.
Libreoffice started to build and it stopped. Second attempt was
editing /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice/Makefile and build process was
stopped again. AFAK @bapt mentioned that problem when JAVA default
version swtiched to 1.7+. His message is available at mailing list
archives. Both attempts were limited to java version not compiler or
else.
