OpenOffice.org 2.0 and GCJ 4

Wed May 11 20:20:00 GMT 2005

Hi all,
Just got a thank you email from Richard Stallman about our progress with
OpenOffice 2.0 and GCJ 4 for both communities. The FSF has also updated
the text at http://www.fsf.org/news/open-office-java.html to better
reflect our current status:
 Volunteers needed to build, test and package free OpenOffice 2.0

 The FSF is looking for volunteers to build, test and package
 fully free versions of OpenOffice 2.0 that use GCJ as a
 replacement for the non-free Java platform. OpenOffice and GCJ
 hackers have worked hard to make sure that all the new features
 of the next version of OpenOffice 2.0 written in the java
 programming language will build and run with GCJ, the GNU
 Compiler for java part of GCC 4.0. This support was just very
 recently added to GCJ and OpenOffice and does not yet work
 completely out of the box. OpenOffice 2.0 is not finished yet,
 but beta versions are available. We want to make sure that when
 OpenOffice 2.0 final is released everything builds and runs out
 of the box with GCC 4.0 for all Free Software users.

 Please write to <java@gcc.gnu.org> for a list of bugs, patches
 and feature requests needed for better support and instructions
 for testing and reporting bugs to the GCJ and OpenOffice teams.
Thanks to all involved! Lets work together from here to make both
OpenOffice 2.0 and GCJ 4 rock. If you haven't tried out these new
programs together please try and help us improve them.
Cheers,
Mark
