Hi all<br>
<br>
Sorry that I now reactivating the Java discussion again, but I think
Java is one of the most important technolgies for the business
environment specially as a antipole against the whole .NET hype. Is it
not better to talk with sun about a version to ship with fedora. It
would also allow to ship tomcat and so many of java based web
applications for the business field.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
After some thought and discussion, I've come to the following
conclusion:
Since Fedora does not include Java for licensing reasons, all Red
Hat-built OpenOffice.org RPMs for Fedora will NOT include Java support,
and will NOT be built with Java enabled. It's not good form to supply
an RPM that cannot be built on the platform it is intended for.
Therefore, when you install Fedora and OOo, anything that requires Java
will not function.
However, I will attempt to keep a "Java-enable" switch in the specfile
that will allow Java-enabled building on Fedora, provided you have a
JRE/JDK installed. I will attempt to keep Java-enabled building
up-to-date and functional.
In the future, I hope OOo will compile using gcj or other free Java
environments. This is something we'll be working towards, and other
shave this same goal in mind (Debian). When gcj is able to compile the
Java bits of OOo, the Fedora RPMs will include those patches. Its

So in summary, I'm not going to build Java-enabled RPMs of OOo for the
time being. But if you'd like them, I'm happy to keep it possible (and
will try to keep it building out-of-the-box with a specfile switch).

Hi Dan,
Could you also move the -mcpu override's in solenv/inc/ into the spec
file using a variable?
Thanks,
Byte
