Since my original post I've seen a LibreOffice post pointing out that
the US Homeland Security issued a warning last January, about Java
being a security risk. This appears to be the main reason why the
LibreOffice people are moving away from Java.
I did a bit of research on this and it seems that the area of concern
is the use of Java in Web Browsers. The JRE is apparently not at
risk, so I'm thinking that Java in an H2 environment is also not a
risk, except perhaps where a Server is being accessed over the Web.
My applications are stand alone single user, so there should be no
issues there.
Hmmm, no, it's really that.
I'm also active in the LO dev community in a small way, and I think I
would have seen a major decision like that :-)
No-one on the core technical team, is, at least as far as I know,
talking about removing Java from LO altogether.
What is happening is that there is a drive to simplify some parts of LO,
from being a mix of native code and Java code, into being pure native code.
Which is perfectly reasonable, because debugging a mixed application is
a major PITA.
But Java continues to be supported by LO, and I don't see that going away.
