I am no programmer but this is very interesting! Do 10M lines in C++ convert to 10M lines in Java? Is it a 1:1 conversion? Are there successful examples similar in magnitude to AOO in the software world of such code rewrites from language A to language B? How did they make it? Is it possible to reduce the 10M lines for conversion by for example omitting Draw and Base from the suite? Can this conversion be performed in a modular way? Many thanks for answering. -- View this message in context: http://openoffice.2283327.n4.nabble.com/openoffice-programming-tp4683649p4683681.html Sent from the Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
