Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57610
Prototype Requirement: Cross platform
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:12:06 UTC
This task is a part of issue 57601 "Requirements specification for project management tool prototype": http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=57601
Cross platform is a must as for all OOo products. Java should in my opinion only be an option for the demonstrator, since it is not accepted by many users.
Not choosing java or .net or something like that will make cross-platform support more difficult as multiple binaries must be maintained and tested.
The only way to go cross-platform is to go the Java way. Mono is far from being compatible IMO and it will remain as such as long as Microsoft is the sole proprietary owner of the .NET platform, not allowing third parties a/o the community to participate in the further development and evolution of the platform. That being said, we will definitely go for Java for implementing the lot of the OOPM components. Scripting will allow for much more languages to be embedded into the solution, and, we might even integrate the languages supported by the .NET CLR for scripting purposes, provided that there exists a UNO scripting integration for them. As for the, provably required native parts of the overall application, we will be using cross-platform C/C++.
