can we please stop this discussion on this mailing list here. It is somewhat off topic here and should be discussed somewhere else. Maybe d...@openoffice.org or disc...@ux.openoffice.org. At the moment there is indeed no real technical reason to remove Java. Ok on Mac OS there exists some problems (only a few use cases) but i hope that this can be solved in the future. Sorry that i have put this sentence with removing Java in LibO in the game. I don't really want to talk about LibO here.
