This is an unofficial look at where NeoOffice/J is likely going and roughly when it might get there. It is based on vague public statements at various places on trinity but is not endorsed by the developers of NeoOffice/J.

NeoOffice/J 1.1 Roadmap
- NeoOffice/J 1.1 Alpha 1 - Fall 2004
- OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 codebase
- NeoOffice/J 1.1 Alpha 2 - Fall 2004
- Aqua menus
- lots of bugfixes
- NeoOffice/J 1.1 Beta - December 21, 2004
- OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 codebase
- New splashscreen and about box
- Improved Finder icons for documents and the application
- a number of minor feature improvements/additions (scroll-wheel, text drag-and-drop, 40 localized GUIs, etc.)
- lots of bugfixes
We are here (Mar 2005)
- NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate (RC) - March 2005
- OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 or 1.1.5 codebase
- lots of bugfixes from 1.1 Beta
- New Aqua GUI icon set
- NeoOffice/J 1.1 (GM/Final/release) - approx. two weeks after 1.1 RC
- bugfixes from move to OOo 1.1.4/5 codebase
NeoOffice/J 1.5 Roadmap
- NeoOffice/J 1.5 - TBD
- Aqua menubars and buttons
- bugfixes from 1.1
NeoOffice 2.0 Roadmap
- NeoOffice 2.0 - TBD
- OpenOffice.org 2.0.x codebase
- Full Aqua appearance ("look" but perhaps not "feel")
- Heir of stability of NeoOffice/J and Aquafication of NeoOffice/C, thus renamed NeoOffice with 2.0 version number
Other Changes or Developments (not targeted for a specific milestone)
Some other changes are not driven by Neo development plans but rather by changes completely outside of our control (i.e., Apple OS or component upgrades), so they will occur when external events require them.
- Move from Java 1.3.x VM to Java 1.4.x or 1.5.x
- Will also involve converting much of the non-Java code in Neo/J from Carbon to Cocoa since Apple's 1.4 and above JVMs are Cocoa rather than Carbon
- Drop support for Mac OS X 10.2.x "Jaguar"
- When OOo can no longer be made to build/run under 10.2.x or when running under 10.2.x holds back features/fixes needed for 10.3.x or 10.4.x
- When switching to Java 1.5.x VM (unless Apple releases JVM 1.5 for 10.2.x)
Issues
- Patrick has posted updated thoughts about the direction Neo/J needs to take in order to remain useable over the next few years, along with time and cost estimates of required tasks, in this thread on trinity.
