Hi,

The only difference I can see is that the OOo 2.0 tree seems to require JDK 1.4.X or later as its baseline.
(There are a number of java projects that require JDSK 1.4.X or higher to work).
are these optional? Could you provide details?

Also have the Sun specific classes been removed yet?
No, AFAIR we agreed that this had low priority as these classes are only used in conjunction with applets and are therefor not very prominent. Contributions to fix this will certainly be accepted ;-)

This is a little curious. As 'advised' here recently, I have been investigating GCJ first hand, and I understood from talking to Mark Weilaard (GNU/Classpath lead) that GCJ/GIJ was able to run OO.o 2 perfectly well now (thanks to lots of input from Red Hat), and that Caolan McNamara has been doing excellent work to deliver just what RMS is asking for. It seems to me that RMS is asking for what FSF people are already doing. Am I missing something?

AFAIK, no. IMHO, everything seems to be OK and compliant with the proposed Java policy

but I will see if I misunderstood anything.

Hi,

I thought people might be interested in this link. It seems the RMS wants to fork OpenOffice.org due to its reliance on JDK.

Thoughts,

Kevin

I'm planning to follow up on this news in an article for Newsforge. Does
anybody have any comments they would like to make?


I'll be checking this list tomorrow, but if people could cc me, I'd
appreciate it -- I have a lot of ground to cover on this story very quickly.
