This sounds like a lot of work but I'll give it my best. I'll undoubtedly have questions along the way. Where should I direct these questions, this list or is there another one more specific that I should use?
Cliff "Andrew C. Oliver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/23/2002 09:49 AM Please respond to "POI Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: POI Users List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Re: HDF and WORD docment newbie question I plan to spearhead the Powerpoint port sometime after HDF gets read/write capability. Then I plan to work on pivot tables for HSSF. (next release's major feature is Images/embedded objects) Start by looking at the existing HDF codebase its in the scratchpad (src/scratchpad). Understand how the HSSF record generator works and how it is used by HDF (its XML->Java generation for simple objects). Then go to wotsit.org and look at the documentation on the word file format. Create a utillity similar to org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.BiffViewer to flush out the details of the file format. Create unit tests based on documents with particular properties... Try to create a runthrough like o.a.p.h.d.HSSF for HDF which reads in the document and writes it back out. Once this works the rest starts to just happen. We should move this over to the dev list.
