hi,

i have seen this note on the bugzilla list.:
***********************************************************************************************************
 Summary: reading files generated by SpreadCE 1.18 causes
                    Exception.
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I try to read excel files generated by SpreadCE 1.18 running under 
WindowsCE 2002 and WindowsCE 2003 I find two troubles:

1) org.apache.poi.hssf.record.agregate.ValueRecordsAgregate.construct(int,List) 
fail when org.apache.poi.hssf.record.LabelRecord are included in the agregate 
because the java.util.TreeMap need that the keys implement the Comparable 
interface and LabelRecord doesn't do.

2) If I try to resolve the previous trouble by implementing Comparable interface
in LabelRecord as it was implemented in other Record extended classes 
(LabelSSTRecord by example). When I do that,  
org.apache.poi.hssf.model.Sheet.convertLabelRecords(Workbook) can't replace 
LabelRecords included inside the ValueRecordsAgregate. This causes Exception in 
the org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell constructor because is unable to 
recognize the LabelRecord Type.

I resolve this by inserting code for convert from LabelRecord to LabelSSTRecord 
prior to Sheet generation in org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook 
constructor instead of calling Sheet.convertLabelRecords() after Sheet 
generation.
***********************************************************************************************************

i need the same functionality. But i could not understand what is told in the 
last pharagraph(constructor of hssfworkbook). Can somebody tell?

Also i did not understand how to build a new jar from the source files. On the 
jakarta page it does not tell the names of the ant script(s) and where they are 
located?


thanks in advance.
best regards..
