From my experience in support things like this do not exist for most users before they experience it first-hand. > But in any event, I do think we'll get a lot of complaints unless we can > bundle Kaffe and make it work. Well, I'm afraid you'll get complaints then too:) What people want is something that works with their existing software platform, not some sort of alien bird that does the same things as other apps using its own separate & duplicate subsystem. This explains for example all the work that was done on native widgets. Having a self-contained implementation is nice from a development point of view but from a user point of view it's about as rude as your typical colonial european that declared the world a white map waiting to be filled by european conventions. Office apps are not some sort of console game that can control 100% of the environment without bothering about how to interact with other apps. OO.o should learn to use the existing system VM (Sun VM, kaffe, gcj, whatever) not try to force a particular on on the system or try to ignore the system vm by using its own. > But knowing how hard it is to get > something added to OOo (my efforts to get clipart included have met > repeated failure) I'm not holding my breath. > > Oh, one last note, please don't swear. It doesn't help your point. Well, much as I'd like to I'm not a native english speaker so I don't expect to write anything but english sabir here. I particular the limits between rude expressions and expressions that used to be rude but have lost their strength because of large use is not always easy to find. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
