There is an independent project that has employed Java to port OpenOffice into 
a more "native" Mac form. The free (speech & beer), OSS package is called 
NeoOffice/J.

The developers have just released their first official, stable version, 
NeoOffice/J 1.1, which is based on and compatible with OpenOffice 1.1.4.

For more than a year I've been running OpenOffice on my 10.2 and 10.3 OSeX 
boxes via Apple's provided Xwindows installations. For the most part this has 
been a stable and functional setup, though I have had to be &quot;creative&quot; in 
working around some color printing issues (with thanks for PDF).

A few months back I started testing out NeoOffice/J release candidates on a 
couple of the Mac's I admin and have been very happy with it. Having the more 
direct integration with the Mac environment makes using the OpenOffice suite 
much more convenient, and the NeoOffice/J  port has also addressed the color 
printing issues I was having.

The stable release does seem, at least for the days I've spent working with 
the Writer portion, quite stable and complete, and I highly recommend 
checking out NeoOffice/J as a solid option for running the OpenOffice suite 
on Mac OSeX.
