;-) i don't think so, but Java is besides Python the only reliable way
to add new components as extensions. Well i talk not about macros etc.

Juergen,
Of course, Java is *the* language for optional new components.
I refered to the built-in set of features, some of which rely on Java
since the very first version (menu:File>Wizards>...), some of which are
not desirable in my honest opinion (embedded HSQLDB and misleading
database wizards).
A user installs the software from its home page and gets error messages
about Java missing when calling some wizard.
A user installs the software from its home page, together with a bundle
of Java by default, although he has Java installed already, possibly
even a more recent one which gets updated without OOo taking any advantage.
Without Java, menu:Tools>Macros>Run... raises an error suggesting that
you can not run any macros without JRE, which is untrue as far as Basic
and Python are concerned.
