Bug ID: 63779
Summary: RFE: Add support for the new Java date/time API added
in Java 8
Product: POI
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: POI Overall
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Since version 4.0.1, Apache POI requires Java 8. In that Java version, the new
date/time API was introduced which is both easier to use and less error prone
than the old (and flawed) API consisting of java.util.Date etc.
Client code that uses the new LocalDate and LocalDateTime classes nonetheless
has to convert dates to the now somewhat obsolete old classes when dealing with
POI. To leverage this, support for LocalDate/LocalDateTime should be added to
POI, namely the Cell interface and DateUtil class.
Since the old java.util.Date based API is still used by a lot of client code,
support should be added in a backwards compatible way.
I volunteer to add this support, as well as doing some cleanup of the date/time
handling.
