Note: OpenOffice.org is NOT Java based.
The vast magority of the code is C++. The new Database module uses Java and some Wizards and tools.
Without the Base application and Wizards OpenOffice.org can be run just fine.

There is more to OpenOffice.org than most people realize. Is it MS Office? NO, but how many people need everything MS Office offers for normal Home and Small Business use? A few.

p.s. It's called OpenOffice .ORG because of licensing reasons.
