OpenJDK (6 or 7) doesn't yet come with a plugin or webstart. It is not clear if Sun will ever release them under GPL. The last semi-offical statement is here: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2008-September/001283.html The OpenJDK6 port should remove the WEB option to avoid confusion. I believe that the lack of the plugin will prevent OpenJDK6 from building OpenOffice. :( Perhaps the approach Fedora took might work for a plugin replacement. See 16.3 for a description: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Java.html It mentions the lack of support for LiveConnect. If I'm not mistaken that is need for the plugin to work in Firefox (memory rusty on this one). However it may be good enough to allow OpenJDK6 to build OpenOffice. Regards, =2DKurt
