POI

2003-10-22 Thread Hart, Justin
I'm considering using POI (the jakarta package for managing OLE objects in java) in a 
commercial project.

2 Questions
1)  Is it any good?
2)  Will the license allow for this?  IANAL.

Justin,

I've used POI to read and write Excel files.  I'd say it was generally very
good, although I had problems reading a file in, IIRC, pre-Excel 97 format.

1. We use it a lot and it works fast !
2. We use it in a commercial project, and as you can see in this link
(http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/casestudies.html) , they actually are
promoting case studies with commercial users

A colleague used it on a project I was on - seemed to do the job, at 
least for Excel spreadsheets. I hope the license was OK! Guess it 
wouldn't have got past the suits if it hadn't been.
