Actually, *at runtime* OOo doesn't depend on java at all. It's just the RUN_DEPENDS in the Makefile. In my own port, i have left them out intentionally. At runtime, in Options/Java you then can configure a JVM (including parameters and classpath) of your choice. Note: WIthout java, some functionality will be missing. E.g. the Wizards. If you invoke a function which depends on java and it can't find a JVM, a messagebox will pop up. @kurt: You probably should reconsider your recent change of dependencies. Even the system db4.jar should work nicely with a 1.5 JVM. Ciao -Fritz
