A Sun Blog entry reveals that Sun engineering is joining on ongoing project to port OpenOffice to Mac OS X (native). Currently, a version of OpenOffice runs under X11, but the new project aims to provide a native Aqua interface.

Why is Sun joining the Mac porting project? If you look around at conferences and airport lounges, you will notice that more and more people are using Apple notebooks these days. Apple has a significant market share in the desktop space. We are supporting this port because of the interest and activity of the community wanting this port.
