Larry Ellison, head of Oracle, which recently bought Sun, said he wants to see JavaFX-based OpenOffice applications, according to DevX. OpenOffice is currently a C++-based application.
I think this announcement refutes the unfounded concerns of those who though that the buyout of Sun would mean doomsday for Java or OpenOffice. Oracle has an interest in non-Microsoft technologies being promoted. Microsoft’s biggest selling point is being able to sell corporations the entire package of software from the desktop to the data center. Microsoft Office runs on Windows and is optimized for accessing data in SQL Server. To the extent that Oracle can introduce technologies that make it easy to access MySQL and Oracle, that’s a plus point for Oracle.
That’s why Oracle will keep OpenOffice alive.
