<excerpt><smaller>Is there currently any development on a Java app (or
Java applet) version of AbiWord? I think this would be great for
cross-platform functionality.

AFAIK, nobody on the core development team believes that Java should be
used
for large-scale desktop applications.
As for cross-platform functionality, we're pretty proud of what we've
managed to accomplish "the hard way" -- tons of shared code in C and C++,
with a smattering of native calls where appropriate to each GUI toolkit.
Given what we've managed to accomplish on Win32, BeOS, and GTK, I'd say
we're doing pretty well. :-)
