Hi All, The POI project (http://poi.sourceforge.net) has just released a 1.2.0 version. Please note this is a development release only. 1.0.2 (confusing I know) is the current production release.
In this release, we've restructured the serializer in preparation for writing the generator and serializers for additional POI file formats and **added cell styling to the HSSF Serializer**. In addition there are a few performance enhancements to strings and various other things you can read about in the release notes. Please remember this is a development release. We're especially interested in folks taking a crack at the serializer. We'd like to get it up to the 1.0.x API feature set early in this cycle. Thanks, Andy PS: For those of you who do not know yet: The POI project contains several components for dealing with popular OLE 2 formats in Java. POIFS is a pure Java implementation of the OLE 2 Compound document format. HSSF is a pure Java implementation of Excel 97 XLS file format based on POIFS. HSSF Serializer is a pure Java serializer for Cocoon 2 that uses the Gnumeric XML format to output XLS. Full documentation of the POIFS file format is included. If you wish to output reports in the Excel file format, or if you have existing XML documents that you need to get into Excel, then this project is probably what you're looking for. -- www.superlinksoftware.com www.sourceforge.net/projects/poi - port of Excel format to java http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4487555.html - fix java generics! The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote. -Ambassador Kosh --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
