Hi all,

I tried to make myself familiar with the java portions of LO but got stuck and confused. Can someone give me pointers on some topics?

1) I understood on this mailing-lists archive that it is intended to have any Java portions replaced with something else to get rid of JRE dependencies. I guess that an optional Java-API for writing extensions to LO is not effected by this and should be maintained. Is this correct?

2) ATM this Java API is an UNO implementation from the OOo UDK project, right? From my first Impression this API is ... I fail to get the design decisions driving it. :-) I took a look at the OOo website to see whether there are efforts to improve the API. The page http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/Efforts was changed last time in December '06, I basically stopped there. Are there any existing plans anywhere to come up with a decent, modern Java API to LO?

I would like to get involved in Java development for LO but want to avoid scratching my head over obsolete code.

Thanks and regards
Thorsten Guenther
