Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Changes with java in Ubuntu

I wonder what the difference would be using openjdk-jre, vs. the 
"regular" version, with respect to security?

We still have to have Java as part of LO, even when all of the internal 
Java coding changed out to Python.  There are Extensions that require a 
JRE being installed so it can work.  So, then all of them would have to 
be rewritten.  How much work will it be before all of the coding 
associated with ALL parts of LO and its extensions be free of Java?  
Will we still need it when someone writes for OOo with Java and then 
offers it to LO for inclusion.  Now everyone will want to write in 
Python if they prefer Java.

As for the burning, why waste a good CD?
