Subject: Problem extracing properties from Unicode/UTF-8 codepage files
+ patch to fix



Hello, 

We are successfully using the POI library for meta-data extraction in
the Alfresco open-source ECM project. 

A problem has been reported to us that properties such as Title,
Description and Author fail to get read correctly if the codepage used
in the office doc is Unicode or UTF-8. I have patched the code to
support these code pages during property reads. We are then able to read
properties in languages such as Japanese, Arabic, Cyrlic and Greek etc.

Find attached the .patch files against POI version 2.5.1. 

Thanks, 

Kevin
