If you have a question about POI you've come to the right place! If you've sent it to me, sorry, I've gotten to where I only answer POI questions that were sent to the list.

We'll be releasing a 1.5 release *soon* that will contain log4j, etc etc. We've moved to a more standard build/distro, its just a matter of catching us at a bad time (while moving to jakarta). To answer your question POI 1.0.x uses log4j 1.1.3 (production release) and this is what is in CVS. In general any POI production release will use only production releases of log4j and other librarys (where possible). I'll leave the definitive answer to Glen, but I feel at the moment that the development sources (in cvs) are more stable then the last production release. Not that it wasn't ready, but we've made some great improvements. Glen is now "module maintainer" of sorts for HSSF 2.0.
