When Apache got the LibreOffice project they heavily refactored the
code. As a result, LO is considered less of a monstrosity to hack on
than Open Office.

That said, if your goal is to "try to extend" an application, then
being written in Java as opposed to C++ would be an advantage, not a
disadvantage. Especially in an application the size of OOo. That said,
only a few dialogues and wizards (none critical) are written in Java.
Most is C++.

Take a look at Calligra, C++ with Qt. It is supposed to be very easy
to extend and port, in fact that was a design goal.
