Tender approved in the budget by the TDF board
In order to remove the legacy Java / HSQLDB database completely, and move
> fully to Firebird in LibreOffice 5.4 it is necessary to be able to import
> old document data with high fidelity from the HSQLDB binary file format
> which we have used (for performance) inside so many of our existing ODB
> files. This task involves reading the existing (reasonably simple) Java
> serialization code, and writing an (import only) filter to import this data
> safely into base.
