Bug ID: 54871
Summary: XSSFExcelExtractor: Misleading javadoc
Product: POI
Version: 3.9
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: XSSF

Patch to fix the javadoc.
The javadoc for XSSFExcelExtractor#setIncludeCellComments states:
"Should cell comments be included? Default is true"
>From line 53:
private boolean includeCellComments = false;
Clearly, the default is in fact false. This could easily cause some poor
developer to spend a great deal of time pulling out their hair, saying very
unkind things to their monitors, and wondering why on earth the cell comments
are not being extracted.
I have attached a patch file to fix the issue. There was a choice between
changing the default behaviour and changing the javadoc to match the default
behaviour. I have opted for the latter as it's less likely to break code which
is already working and because it matches the behaviour of the ExcelExtractor.
