Hi, I am working on an application for which I need to generate Excel spreadsheets with outlining. I read in the Limitations section on the HSSF website that this is not possible at the moment. I have found a Perl module, SpreadSheet::WriteExcel (on CPAN), that does exactly what I want.
Unfortunately (in this respect), I'm not using Perl for this project but Java. It is easy enough for me to write a Perl script, pass the data from Java to Perl through some IPC mechanism, and then pass the resulting spreadsheet back. However, it would be much more satisfying if I could do this all in Java with HSSF. What are the issues with porting the outlining code from Perl as regards licensing? If they are surmountable, I would definitely be willing to spend some time doing it (with the guidance of the HSSF developers).
