No it's not broken I've just compiled a couple of days ago on an updated (as of 12/4/04) 5.3-stable system > it should compile cleanly if you've set up the required java magic > first.

Yes this I agree with this, what I did was get java to compile first, (I installed every type of jdk14 in the java ports tree) but the one that worked was /usr/ports/java/jdk14, try to make && make install that port, if you are unsuccessful pay attention to the error and edit the Makefile. (I seem to recall a problem with printf, and I *think* I commented out the lines with printf and did a make it errored out again eventually so uncommented those lines and everything installed.) Once that is done openoffice any other number of java applications should install and compile fine. <snip>
