        Good to understand; so at least nominally everyone could work on the
same unified project without overt conflict :-) [in an ideal world].

        Yep; the big problem is that there is real advantage in having a
capable, integrated grammar checker that we ship and works out of the
box everywhere, as now; and I really don't want to bundle other people's
binaries of OpenJDK, or worse to have to build it ourselves.

        If LibreOffice dealt with all the nasties of compiling on <N>
unpleasant platforms (which I assume Java helps you with), would a
migration to C++ be conceivable (assuming python is outside the pale -
and personally I much prefer a strongly typed language myself).

        ATB,

                Michael.
