Hello Nick,

So I have one problem with the 3.5-beta1 release as it stands - the
junits from trunk (3.1) do not compile against poi-3.5-beta1.jar or
poi-jdk14-3.5-beta1-20080718.jar.

I was attempting to run the junits of 3.1
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/testcases) , but I got
about 40 compilation errors that seem to be caused by 3 problems:

"Type mismatch: cannot convert from Region to Region"
org.apache.poi.hssf.util.Region -> org.apache.poi.ss.util.Region

"The import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFFormulaEvaluator.CellValue
cannot be resolved"
org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFFormulaEvaluator ->
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.FormulaEvaluator.CellValue

"The method getDataFormatString(Workbook) in the type HSSFCellStyle is
not applicable for the arguments (Workbook)"
org.apache.poi.hssf.model.Workbook -> org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook

-----------------

I'm not sure if this concern is even relevant to what we should be verifying.

Let me know
-Josh
