For the record, Open Office is *not* Java based and it never was. It is
written in C++ and has been since the StarOffice days. It has an
optional ability to integrate with Java for something or other.
Plugins, I think. I never remember. In any event, the key word there
is "optional". You don't need Java at all to run Open Office.
That's an *extremely* common misconception, though. It was "common
knowledge" even back in the StarOffice days, years ago. I never knew
were that came from. Maybe because StarOffice/OpenOffice is so bloated
and slow and because it can use Java, people assumed it was written with
Java?
