Hi :) The issue about what to use instead of Java is something that would be good to discuss on the devs list and perhaps with other people that might have a better idea. Mostly it seems that java really wasn't needed and can be just written out comlpetely. At a guess that's not always going to work in Base. I was wondering if Gtk or Python or Ruby or C++ but i'm probably showing just how little i know about this type of thing just by saying that. Devs will have a far better idea of what is viable. Regards from Tom :)

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 14 September, 2011, 21:40 Hello David, Thanks for the info. I'm willing to do a few jobs, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the different aspects of the project. I am considering pitching the use of a customized version Libre Office, and hopefully they might be interested in funding some development. But that is all very preliminary. If there is a move away from java, that is going to make a significant portion of that documentation obsolete. Is there anything specifically related to the move away from java documented anywhere? Any idea what the API is going to be to replace it?
