[gentoo-amd64] openoffice-bin-2.0 : slow start

Hi *,

I emerged openoffice-bin v2.
When I start ooo2-writer, it's taking an eternity : about 75 seconds 
(ok, it'a pretty short eternity)

Has anybody seen this issue ? May it be due to blackdown java ?

Yes, people claim it is due to Java. 
You need to have 32-bit Java installed, otherwise OO can't use java  
and spends lots of time searching for it

It's a well known issue by now. Most people (including me) seem to fix 
it by disabling Java in the OO.org-configuration (Tools > Options > 
OpenOffice.org > Java). After that, startup time will be more acceptable.

Success!

Wouldn't it be possible to make an ebuild which installs 32bit java on amd64 
and change the OOo binaries to small scripts which change the JAVA_HOME 
variable and start ooffice? That would solve all those problems imho.
Sure, the correct solution would be to get a 64-bit OOo working...I read that 
there are already ebuilds in the gentoo forum, maybe those could be added to 
portage hardmasked!?

cheers,
dominik
