I am working for a project which uses POI ver 2.5.1. We got into a problem
and found that the development version of POI ver 3.0 fixes our problem .
So my question are :
1) when the ver 3.0 is going to be released officially?
When it is ready.
2) How safe is it to use ver 3.0 means how stable will ver 3.0 from now till
it gets officially released.
reasonably safe, but we promise to break that promise. Meaning NO
guarantee that we won't change an API between now and then.
3) Can anybody on the developer team tell me or point me where i can get the
differences between POI and Formula 1 from "ReportingEngines.com" which is a
actuate product.
So there are certainly features in Formula 1 that we do not yet support.
Principly we have different approaches. POI is NOT a spreadsheet
engine, it is a port of the file format. Additionally, unless you use
graphical features (we do use java graphics apis for graphical stuff
like drawings) we do not actually bind you to X or a graphics subsystem.
(less of a concern now than it used to be)
After the next release it is likely we'll use less memory than F1j.
Upon my last test of it (which was a few years ago) we were in fact faster.
It will be helpful if the differences are form a technical standpoint point .
I know that the later one costs around 15000 bucks or so.
A lot of uses of POI are OEM based. Its simply not feasible for most to
license F1j as an OEM product. Moreover POI is at this point the gold
standard as far as a largest deployment base and we have good commercial
support and service via SuperLink.
