While being more independent from Java is a wished enhancement in LibreOffice, that does in my opinion not preclude accepting contributions that make use of Java for alternative databases... If prrvchr contributes Java-using code, I'd rather we have this available than not having the contributed features and alternative databases. That's how volunteer/community/...-driven development works, the project gets what the volunteers/community/... feels like contributing, not necessarily what the project would like. Another problem with Java/JDBC in LibreOffice is the rather bad performance hit each time C++ code calls Java code on GNU/Linux (and possibly the BSDs, I don't know), this is not limited to LibreOffice, but LibreOffice is hit hard because each individual sdbc call (access to a single column of a single row) becomes a Java/JDBC all so there are many C++ to Java calls. But again, if someone (prrvchr) is happy to contribute AND MAINTAIN new features, and users are happy to use them... don't let them being Java-based get in the way. IMO people that want better Java-independence in LibreOffice can submit patches to polish Firebird integration, without blocking prrvchr's Java-based alternative database contributions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
