Sun to Push StarOffice for Apple’s MacOSX

Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems are cooperating on a version of Sun’s StarOffice productivity software for Mac OS X, the companies said. Apple gains a friend to help counter its increasingly contentious relationship with Microsoft, which has been struggling with sales of its Office v. X suite for Macintosh. Currently, OpenOffice only runs with the aid of X11, but a native OSX version based on Java is under way, with Apple, Inc. developers giving a hand for the port. Update: Corey O’Connor emailed us regarding the Java and C/C++ parts of Star Office on OSX:It supports the Java intergration features of open office (PLugins made in java for extra functionality of the
Calc program) The OS X status page clearly states that the Quartz port is being done in C/C++. You can check in the CVS also if you want.”
