Yes, OpenOffice always is one of the most annoying things to keep building. One week it does, and the next week it fails in one of it's millions lines of code, ... We have increasing problems with Abiword, Gnumeric and Koffice for our daily office work (at ExactCODE) and consider taking more effords to have OpenOffice building continously in order to switch to that. This might innclude switching from this go-ooo build wrapper to building it from the original sources, as the build wrapper is also changing on and on while the upstream source is not under that rapid fluctuation. I talked with ArchLinux folks and they build from the original source for simillar reasons. > Also, I would like to know from anyone experienced with compiling OpenOffice, > whether it is possible to compile without Java support -- as I recall, it > is, or was, a configure option.

At one point in the past this was possible, however some parts, I think it was the help system and some wizard dialogs are missing in java-less builds. However, these days I'm not that sure if building a Java-less OO is sitll possible. Also right now in trunk OO fails afte an hour of building on some visual basic related stuff.
