I installed the latest Office Productivity Pack announced by IBM and called Lotus Symphony. It contains a word processor, a spreadsheet and a presentation program.
I was very impressed by the fact that it has been implemented on Eclipse RCP. In other words its architecture is based on OSGi and Java. Probably it is not 100% Java because a few OSGi bundles reference native dll libraries (IBM proprietary and/or Openoffice components).
It is an interesting proof of the sounding architecture of OSGi and Eclipse RCP for large and complex desktop applications.
