- <p>A common misconception is that POI writes Excel files. POI is
the name of the project. POI contains several
- components, one of which, HSSF, writes Excel files. The
following are components of the entire POI project

<p>POIFS is the oldest and most stable part of the project. It
is our port of the OLE 2 Compound Document Format to

of our components ultimately rely on it by
definition. Please see <link href="./poifs/index.html">the
POIFS project page</link> for more information.</p>

- <section><title>HPSF</title>
+ <section><title>HPSF for Document Properties</title>
<p>HPSF is our port of the OLE 2 property set format to pure
Java. Property sets are mostly use to store a document's properties
(title, author, date of last modification etc.), but they can be used
- for application-specific purposes as well. Currently HPSF supports
- read functionality only. Please see <link
- href="./hpsf/index.html">the HPSF project page</link> for more
- information.</p>
+ for application-specific purposes as well.</p>
+
+ <p>HPSF supports reading and writing of properties. However, with the
+ current POI release only reading is possible. In order to write
+ properties, you'll have to fetch the latest POI version <link
+ href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html";>from the CVS
+ repository</link>.</p>
