The web site (http://poi.apache.org/howtobuild.html) and the ant help

Alas these can creep in from time to time.
[javac] D:/Documents and Settings/501600804/workspace-mye/POI
Build/src/java/org/apache/poi/poifs/crypt/Decryptor.java:52: cannot
find symbol
[javac] symbol : method getBytes(java.nio.charset.Charset)
[javac] location: class java.lang.String
[javac] byte[] hash =
sha1.digest(password.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-16LE")));
Should now be fixed
Is there a reason to stay at 5 (in which case we can patch this to use
the older getBytes(String), or should we update the site & docs to
refer to 6 for working with svn (and 3.7, if this will be included in
that cut)?
I think for now we want to stay with Java 5 for now. POI gets used in lots
of places, and a surprisingly large number of business deployments are
sticking with the Java 5 JVM for now. We even still get people asking for
Java 1.4 every so often!
