You can't please all the people all the time, but sometimes you can please some of the people some of the time
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
Hi Johan, Although this is true, I think that it is a missed target too.
The name is OpenOffice.org. Let me stress *Open* and *org* The FLOSS community is not "just another" target.
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.
I see this quite possible and indeed a breaktrough
BTW, an example more of the power of open development: The community doing what proprietary vendors seem unable or not motivated to do.
I am sure the issue will settle and there will be a Free JRE very soon.
