--- Comment #2 from Nick Burch <[email protected]> --- Can we do this in a way that won't break backwards-compatibility? The use of those int constants is something that goes back to the very earliest days of Apache POI, and will be used by a huge number of programs out there. They'll be used for both getters and setters, and in some cases I've spotted (on the mailing list and on stackoverflow, amongst others), people have actually hard-coded the int values like 2 and 3 in their code! :/ If we break source compatibility on this, we risk lots of people not being able to upgrade. If there's a source-breaking change, I'd suggest we wait for 4.0 when we're breaking CT stuff as well -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
