Who completed the OpenOffice 3.3 Solaris x86 build? It seems that we could easily add the new vendor to the few files listed here, then recompile. I am sure someone already has the environment set up considering the code was compiled for Solaris x86 in the past. This could then become a version 3.3 update to support Java 7.

RE: EXTERNAL: Re: OpenOffice 3.3 and Java 7
No distribution of OpenOffice.org 3.3 was built at Apache OpenOffice. (There was an out-of-cycle security fix, but that did not require rebuilding the application. I don't believe that fix was provided for Solaris, however.) The Apache OpenOffice code base was based on OpenOffice.org code that was later than OpenOffice.org 3.3 code. As you know, Apache OpenOffice has not provided any Solaris builds for its releases. It would appear that the best that can happen is if a private party with an eye on this list is able to offer such a rebuild. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Steele, Raymond [mailto:raymond.ste...@lmco.com] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 12:29 PM To: Andrea Pescetti; dev@openoffice.apache.org Cc: Dennis E.

One option is to work with the Adfinis guys, the other option is to finish the port yourself by building and testing it on the target platform. A nice start into this topic is available [1], especially its how to create your own port paragraph. In this case things should be easy as the Solaris port used to be maintained and related Unix ports were always progressing nicely. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
