Three paths come to mind.
A. Remove the Java dependencies.
Impossible. JDBC drivers for example, are the lifeblood of Base.
It depends on what you mean by "Impossible". For example, the existence
of the JDBC drivers proves that it is possible to implement interfaces
with all the capabilities of JDBC without depending on it. On the other
hand, it may be impossible to implement the JDBC features Base needs in
a reasonable time with the available resources.
My questions are:
1. What is the cleanest, lowest risk, way to get from here (Java
dependent) to there (Java independent) in each area?
2. How much work would it be?
3. Does AOO have that much development effort available, and if so is it
the best use of that effort?
If we continue with optional Java, I hope making it more convenient and
unobtrusive for users, it is not an all-or-nothing situation. Each
feature that is converted is another feature for non-Java users.
