OpenOffice on MacIntel?

[macd00d]

I've read that NeoOffice is not supported under Rosetta. Is this also true for OpenOffice? If someone out there with a new Core-Duo iMac could check this out and let me know... I would appreciate!

I've heard that NeoOffice uses some kinda Java thing for the interface (?). And Java isn't running very well (or not at all) on the Intel Macs. OpenOffice uses X11, I believe, and should run fine as long as x11 is Universal B.

From what I understand, Java runs fine on Intel Macs, it's JNI code that was compiled for PPC that is the issue. It stands to reason that Rosetta can't jump in for only part of a process, so since Java is native the JNI code that OpenOffice uses will have to be recompiled for Intel.

I've seen no reported problems running Java apps on new intel macs. Some confusion about whether the UB version of the java is used.
