Bug 196770 – app-office/openoffice-2.3.0 uses static copy of jfreereport; use system library instead?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Cowie 2007-10-23 07:36:58 UTC]

Glancing at an openoffice build that I have running, at about 11 minutes in I noticed it internally compiling Java sources making jfreechart 0.9.5 (or so).

We have our own ebuilds as dev-java/jfreechart & friends. It might be preferable to have OpenOffice use the Portage packages instead, if this is possible.

[Also, why it was wasting time running the javadoc command for something that it is using internally was a bit of a mystery]

Actually it is jfreereport that is being built internally, is this the same? (cause I can't find it in portage)

[Comment 2 Hanno Zysik (geki) 2008-03-04 11:28:25 UTC]

It is not the same and OOo wants jfreereport [1] and its sub-projects. Please assign this bug to the Java team so that they can work on the ebuilds.

Could someone tell me where to find the bundled stuff.

betelgeuse@pena /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.1-r1/work/ooo $ find -name "*.jar"
betelgeuse@pena /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.1-r1/work/ooo $ find -name "*.java"
betelgeuse@pena /var/tmp/portage/app-office/openoffice-2.3.1-r1/work/ooo $ 

Is it downloading something from the internet during src_compile?

Can't find jfree stuff in the binary release either:
betelgeuse@pena ~ $ qlist openoffice | xargs grep jfree
betelgeuse@pena ~

Ok so the darn thing actually unpacks only in src_compile. Any way as there are lods of modules etc in the sourceforge project, would be useful to know which ones are needed:

# ls jfreereport/download/
core.zip  CVS  flute.zip  jcommon-1.0.10.zip  jcommon-serializer.zip  libfonts.zip  libformula.zip  liblayout.zip  libloader.zip  librepository.zip  libxml.zip  sacjava-1.3.zip

These are the ones.
