No, it won't. GCJ is not a complete replacement for Java. To use it with OOo requires special patches and building OOo so that the Java code is replaced by assembler code. Both Fedora Core 4 and the Debian experimental repository have developer builds compiled with GCJ, and presumably will soon have 2.0 versions compiled with it. To judge from the developer builds, the result is Java-based features that work, but are very slow. But at least they're free. -- Bruce Byfield 604-421-7177 http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield "Some died in ecstasy, Some died in poverty, But they all die with their boots on At the shouting end of life." - OysterBand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
