Oh, ok makes sense. thanks. seems one patch from Toshiaki (18846) was applied to head and not branch. Meanwhile, I had fixed a bug 25695 in branch, but apparently (according to the commit comment) the fix did not work in HEAD. So looks like I'll have to fix the bug again...(my memory

Merge questions

Tyring to solve the testfailure in TestBugs, I am a bit confused by the merge. Was the merge done by simply copying the files from branch to head? If it was, then something is wrong with StringRecord. The last version on branch was 1.5.2.3, the latest on head, after merge is 1.9, and there

Even tho most committers, I believe, run 1.4 as their regular JVM's these days, we've always tried to ensure that POI runs properly in a jdk 1.3 environment. Any 1.4'isms therefore are usually the result of overlooking, rather than policy. Personally, I've tried to occasionally compile and test

As Rainer confirmed, these are indeed POI tests. tests are indeed a separate target from compile in the build scripts, so even if you compile regularly, you should be fine. (Also I must say that all tests on my 1.8GHz pentium4 take about 1min 10sec to run .. POI is quite fast :). Its just that
