Java in OOoJava in OOoPosted Sep 29, 2004 7:39 UTC (Wed) by eru (subscriber, #2753)Parent article: Marketing OpenOffice.org A fair amount of new OpenOffice.org functionality is being written in Java, which creates problems for some Linux distributors - there is no free, certified Java runtime which can be shipped to run that new code. So OpenOffice.org's plan contemplates the creation of a "Java-free" configuration (something the distributors have been doing for a while), but there is no thought given to making it all work with a free, non-certified runtime engine. Or how about using Java with native compilation with GNU Java. I recently read an article about how some people managed to get Eclipse running with it, and that is a very large program written entirely in Java. Of course here the Sun relationship could be a problem, Sun obviously would like everyone, and particularly projects they sponsor, to use their Java implementation...
