I thought that the AOO and LibreOffice maintainers were trying to remove the use of java from both products - at least that was what I read on a tech news site quite some time ago.
Since I have never seen the need for java in either AOO or LO could someone enlighten me as to why you would use it?
Hi, Ivan
Java is necessary for use of the following in OpenOffice.org:
The built-in default database HSQLDB
JDBC database drivers
Many wizards, like the Autopilot/wizard form generators
Using the XSLT, flat XML filters
Using Java applets in OpenOffice.org
Using Java-based languages in the scripting framework
Java Application Interface (API) programs for 3rdparty modules
All accessibility functions
The OpenOffice.org testtool and QaTestDev programs
For instance, when you try to search for something in 'help': AOO crashes. In base you cannot use wizards to create forms, queries, tables. You can, however, use Base with dBase (bit old fashioned)
Greetings
