I've been doing some development with 1.5.1. My code will be part of a production release on about March 20. Can I safely use a later release, with more features?
Is there a list of new features/capabilities in each release subsequent to 1.5.1? I want to use the POI API to read in Excel "templates" and modify them, and write out the results to a new xls file. I understand the concepts. In doing this, it would be helpful to be able to use "named cells" in the Excel template, and then be able to use the POI API to search for a particular "name", to locate the row and column number of the cell that I want to modify. Is this capability part of a future release? I can "concoct" a sloppy solution, by putting special "tag" values in the template, and then search for them, but a nice API for this would be helpful. In 1.5.1, I don't see how I can add/inset an existing populated HSSFSheet object to an existing HSSFWorkbook. This would be helpful. I may want to put together a HSSFWorksheet by adding several HSSFSheet objects that I "get" from several different templates (HSSFWorkbooks). THANKS, Steve
