Hi all,

for those of you who don't already know, Sun has bought StarOffice and is now giving it away for free.
I downloaded it and couldn't believe my eyes: it's really an incredible value.

Despite what they say, it looks like a huge blow to Microsoft, since it makes Linux perfect for
day to day office work. Even your average secretary who is used to M$-Office can now work on Linux
to do the same things ! And it's available in all the most frequent languages...

Sorry if this sounds like a lot of hype, but I'm still recovering from the shock...

If you're interested, the URL is

Of course, it has some bugs, and using open formats like XML is still theoretically the best way of
creating documents. It's much more painful however, at least with publicly available tools.

For those of you who already have it, I have a question though: I haven't been able to get a correct
configuration to use Java within StarOffice. I have the pre-v2 port of JDK1.2.

Does anybody have any hint on how to make it work ?

Thanks in advance.
