AFAICT there was quite an anti-Java stance before the OpenJDK came along by different groups.
Therefore, I was surprised to read this statement, because for quite some time there has been no "Java-bashing", which IMHO would just simply be stupid, unfprofessional and actually harm AOO in todays world. > really, I don't see it at AOO at the moment.

(BTW, this does not mean that one is only able to deploy Java-implemented script languages, but it means that it is very easy to add any Java-based scripting language in addition to AOO. As another example there is an oxt-package that adds the C++ implemented ooRexx scripting language to AOO/LO exploiting/using the Java based scripting framework, and it works well and fast.) ---rony
