Hi,
    I was reading that Apache POI limitations section
<http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/limitations.html> and found that Apache
POI does not support macros. I have a few questions on that. Please
redirect me to a correct forum if this is not the correct place.

Use case:
We have large excel file with huge macros. We use java for building these
files but macros are kind of black box from the code (over a period of
years have becoming non maintainable for us). Support for
Importing/exporting/creating macros from java will make the tool a lot more
maintainable and reduce operation load as well.

Resources:
We are a group (3-4) of developers who want to contribute to open source
and this is a problem we face at work.

The questions are as follows:
-Why does POI does not support Macros? Any specific reasons?
-What are the high level milestones that need to be done in case someone
wants this to be implemented?

Regards,
Aman
