Technically you don't. In practice you won't get around it for 2.0. Even Debian (who ripped out all Java-related parts in 1.1) tries to port some parts to a free (in the Debian sense) Java runtime AFAIK, as lots of stuff depends on Java nowadays. If you don't have Java, you don't have Macros If you don't have Java, you don't have some Export/Import filters. If you don't have Java, most Wizards are missing. If you don't have Java, you will get severely misleading error messages: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41511 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37020 (If somebody with the permissions would reopen the latter issue, I would be grateful, otherwise I will file a new one, as I *do* think this is bad wording, that misleads users into thinking their program has crashed. Nobody expects a error message to repeat 15 times with the same text!). /ralph -- Rettet die Wale und stÃrzt das System, und trennt euren MÃll, denn viel Mist ist nicht schÃn!
