Define "failed" - was it just the lack of a getText function that threw them or 
something else? 

But yes, with my enhancement you will be able to either grab all the text as a 
string, or obtain a collection (list) of the paragraphs within the shape so 
each can be manipulated individually. 

The current XSSFTextBox is quite limited really, other than being able to set a 
single paragraph (using an XSSFRichTextString) there is very little else you 
can do with it without resorting to diving into the CT classes, but as I'm 
using POI via IKVM that is not an option for me (don't ask), so I need a native 
solution which is why I'm doing this. Only thing I'm leaving out at this time 
is support for bullets and hyperlinks, I may revisit them once I've got the 
base functionality solid and properly unit tested though.
