Let me first remark that I'm very worried about this Java issue. But,
as usual, there are multiple sides to a single coin.

While it may be true that using Java may slow down acceptance in the
FLOSS community, it may speed up acceptance (due to the enhanced OOo
functionality) in other communities. The net outcome may be that OOo
will benefit most from the approach to provide enhanced functionality
and that possible losses in the FLOSS community will be reverted when,
in some later stage, OOos requirement for Java can be fulfilled by GCJ.
Additional advantage is that GCJ can compile to native code.
