Will Fedora's OpenOffice work with other JVM's?

Yes. In fact, it will work better with a Sun JVM. The Java code in
OpenOffice.org was originally written with a Sun JVM in mind, and work
needs to be done to bring OO.o and libgcj into full compatibility (last I
heard).


If that's the case, openoffice.org-core shouldn't specifically require
libgcj, which it currently does.

It should require something more general, such as:

  Requires:  java >= 1.4.2

which is provided by java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.

And it should conflict with non-Sun JVMs:

  Conflicts:  java-kaffe, java-ibm, java-bea, java-blackdown

(java-1.5.0-sun provides java-sun; I'm assuming that the other JVM RPMs
on JPackage have similar provides.)

Let me know if this is correct.  If it is, I'll bugzilla it.
