--- Comment #22 from Robinson Tryon (qubit) <[email protected]> --- (In reply to david.vantyghem from comment #0) > ...It would be great to add it to LibreOffice, so > LibreOffice would become a 100 % free software. > OpenJDK binaries : https://github.com/alexkasko/openjdk-unofficial-builds FWIW, LibreOffice is 100% Free Software. It's up to the user if they want to run it on a Windows machine, or use a proprietary build of Java in conjunction with it...

Oh, certainly. I just don't know anything about Alex, and I don't know if anyone else here does. > If you consider that a free software project must not be used nor helped > because of the number of its maintainers, so you must use Windows or an > iPhone and you will be quiet. *sigh* The irony here is that this bug concerns running LibreOffice on *Windows*, a proprietary OS. Please remember that we're doing the best we can with the resources that we have. > I'm not sure that the number of maintainers is > really a good indicator for choosing or not a free software, especially when > you are using an awful proprietary software instead. Or we could just reduce our dependence on Java, too :-) I think that you've got your heart in the right place, but I don't think that this current conversation in the bug tracker is convincing us that LibreOffice should include this particular build of Java with our Windows installers. What about other 100% FOSS Windows builds of the OpenJDK? Seems like someone has a company that provides them, and it might be worth your time to investigate: http://www.azulsystems.com/products/zulu David, if you really want to see this through, here's how I suggest you do it: 1) Start testing LibreOffice against these Windows-based OpenJDK builds 2) Take some notes and see if you're running into any compatibility bugs 3) Help us to reduce the LibreOffice dependencies on Java https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Java 4) Be patient Thanks, --R -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
