I think it has to do with its relationship with staroffice, as openoffice started with sun releasing code for a previous release of staroffice. So i think that is why its still in java, it would be too much work to re-implement i guess. Also (quote)As far as I know, java-coded applications are: slow, resource-hungry, have bad multitasking effect.
