I just build openoffice.org-3 with jdk16 (having changed the ooo3
Makefile) -- it works! I did it on 7.0-RELEASE, but the same should
apply anywhere.
I think JAVA_VERSION should be 1.4+ or 1.5+ in the port. Now that the
Foundation published Diablo 1.6, building ooo3 got easier.
Background: hsqldb that comes with ooo is known not to compile with
jdk16 (but it runs). ooo was waiting for hsqldb 1.9.0 to come out of
beta, which would fix the issue. That still has not happened. See the
corresponding ooo bug report:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72515
Anyhow, eventually for ooo3 some patches were integrated in April to
make the old hsqldb compile with jdk16:

Our openoffice.org-3-devel is beyond the milestone that got the patches
for some time now. I could not understand how to find out if it is in
the beta, too, but as I said, my testing indicated that 3.0.0.b2 is patched.
Thus, the issue that was talked about in the last few days seems to be
artificial, because the port did not got changed back after the patch
was integrated to ooo.
Cheers,
Jan Henrik
