The DataFormatter class has been like this for a number of years, so it would not be a good idea to make big changes to its behaviour. Plenty of people rely on it working the way it works right now. We could add a 2nd DataFormatter that behaves the way you want it to - but right now, we are busy with a major release and I think it's not a good time to make changes.
Individuals can create their own subclasses of DataFormatter, for now. A lot of the implementation of DataFormatter is private but you could copy paste any private methods that you need into your own subclass. -- Sent from: http://apache-poi.1045710.n5.nabble.com/POI-Dev-f2312866.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
