Stephan,
since the topic should be discussed in public. You provided helpful
links and made the presentation at OOoCon2004, which really looks good...
Now the bootstrap mechanism works just fine, so we get 1 line of code
instead of approx. 10 as it used to be.
But what about the super-interfaces concept? I only read documentation
about the concept (thus only abstract stuff), but nowhere can I find
anything *real*, meaning: any working example for 680 builds that
doesn't use queryInterface and instead uses the mentioned .create() on
new-style services.
Has this concept not been applied to some API parts so that commonly
used things can be written in much shorter code in Java? What is state
of this process?
There are currently only very few multiple-inheritance interface types
in the API, like com.sun.star.uri.XVndSunStarScriptUrlReference.
Hopefully, this will increase over time, both through completely new API
and through reworked parts of the existing API, as already discussed below.

I thought more about urgent needs resulting from realizing that a
specific part of the API is broken, so that a redesign is necessary,
anyway. But, of course, if someone thinks that a part of the API could
be replaced with something that is drastically more usable, that's worth
an issue.
