Herbert, Thanks for the response. I've been informed by Nicolas Christoper of Adfinis Sygroup that the Solaris x86 port was not completed, but could be completed at cost. I am not sure where my organization will go from here. We've been using the OpenOffice API to meet some of our customer requirements and would like to stick with OpenOffice to prevent any re-engineering for another office suite. However, as I said, the Java 7 directive is now forcing our hand in one direction. In an attempt to prevent any additional cost to our project, it may be in our best interest to port OpenOffice to Solaris x86 ourselves, but we are considering our options. Advice?

As you know our friends at Adfinis Sygroup provided a Solaris-X86 build of AOO 3.4.0 https://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-x86 It is not an official ASF build, but it is based on the official sources, their developers contributed AFAIK all their changes back to the Apache OpenOffice project and were trusted with committer status in the project. IIRC from an ASF perspective the only relevant part of the release is the source code. If the code compiles and works on solaris-x86 it could already be considered part of the release. Binaries are provided only for practical reason of end-users. Unless binaries are built on the official sources and tested by third parties they cannot be endorsed by the project, of course. For solaris-x86 being part of the official release not too much is missing IMHO: regular milestone builds, testing by the solaris-x86 community and more participation in the release process.
