Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org-base
OpenOffice looks like it has a dependency on GNU Java. I have Sun's JDK installed. I do not want to install GNU Java: (1) it conflics with Sun's Java on the same machine; (2) I have had problems in the past with GNU Java and Azureus; and (3) I do not want to use up the drive space with two versions of Java, when one will suffice. While the dependency on Java for OpenOffice is fine, the dependency on a specific version of Java is not. And this doesn't even begin to touch upon the "write once, run anywhere" promise of JVMs. ** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- OpenOffice and GNU Java https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155592 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
