Just as a side note: OpenOffice is written entirely in C/C++.
That's reason why it starts 5 sec faster then StarOffice 5.2. ;-) But in anyway, it still Java stuff.
Nope, it isn't. Go to openoffice.org, there are several places where you can read the OO is C++, one quote from an faq: How much source code is there? OpenOffice.org source will have approx. 20,000 source files. OpenOffice.org will have approx. 7,600,000 lines of code. The majority of the code is C++.
It is not at all Java-based.
Hmm... AFAIK it actualy is. It's same StarOffice, with new filters and less GUI. Otherwise it can't be crossplatform...
Really? But then kde, gnome, perl, python etc. are also written in Java?
There are Java-based versions that use the C++ libraries,
Hmm... It's really interesting -- if we can import this stuff into Python, it should be cool. Suppose Zope-based StarCalc (I'm serious -- why not?)...
Hehe, funny you mention that: http://polysorbate.org/?work/openoffice cheers, oliver
