Hi Andrew, As Christof already said, the final decision is up to Google, but I have a couple of comments to make...

Despite the impression you may have had from the task description, this Solver component is an on-going task, and quite a significant portion of it has already been written in C++ (I am the current owner of this task). So, if you want to code it in Java, there will be an integration issue at later time (plus it may force you to re-implement a large portion of the work that has already been done, or at least re-design its current framework to accommodate the Java code via UNO). Also, my _personal_ goal of this solver is to make it available on platforms where a JVM availability is a concern (such as FreeBSD), so that was the main reason why I picked C++. I have already posted some ideas where it can be further improved, so please refer to the following post of mine: http://sc.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=1506 Please post any further questions to [email protected] (this list). Good luck with your project, :-) Kohei -- Kohei Yoshida OpenOffice.org Calc contributor http://kohei.us/ooo/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
