Yes, that's what I'd assume, but on the other hand OpenOffice seems to be very tightly integrated with Java through JNI calls. Doesn't make any sense :( P.S. John, I'll answer your question here to reduce list pollution: Yes, OpenOffice runs natively on FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE. I think it should run even on 4.6-RELEASE. I've been trying to build it from ports for the last couple of weeks w/o any success, finally cvsup'ed yesterday and it worked! Some things still crash, but SWriter seems to work. /usr/ports/editors/openoffice/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
