Java and OpenOffice.org

[Bruce Byfield <bbyfield@axionet.com>]

Hi:

I'm working on an article about the decision to use Java in
OpenOffice.org. The article will include both positive and negative
opinions, and talk about how it affects repackagers of OOo, and how they
are planning on handling the situation.

If possible, I'd like to get a quote about how Debian plans to respond. 
By putting together a Java-free package? By using a free implementation 
of Java? By some other means? Since Debian is a distribution that is 
more dedicated than most to free software, I'm especially eager to hear 
how it is approaching the issue.

And if anyone on the Debian OpenOffice Team would care to make other 
comments, I'd appreciate hearing them, by all means.

Thanks,
