This part we can probably fix, one way or another. You might have run
into the known XML problem, namely that libgcj includes one version of
the XML code and you can't link in two versions of the same class.
There's a workaround in place for this in 3.3 -- the XML code was
moved to a separate library. (If it wasn't that, but was some other
problem, we'd like to know...)
There's not much we can do about code that relies on Sun internals,
though. If RMS has someone who is interested in looking into this, it
sounds like they should start by rewriting those parts of OOo.
