The workbook I'm working with requires a lot of different colors, and most of them are not defined in IndexedColors. I've found CellUtil to be a very useful utility, however it's unable to handle custom colors. To resolve this problem, I wrote my own CellUtil.java class which works with custom defined XSSFColor for borders, foreground, background and font. I'm soliciting some suggestions from veteran POI developers out there:
1.) Is there any value in sharing this code with the community. My instinct says yes, but not knowing what's the future for CellUtil in general, I can't be sure. There could be solutions in the works that would address the issues I encountered already. 2.) Since, the CellUtil.java class I wrote only works for XSSF workbooks, it obviously can't replace the one in the POI packages right now. Any advice on how to or where would be the best place to share my code if it's deemed worthy enough. Thank you for your advice in advance, Hongying
