I guess the XMLBeans release will anyway take some time, but I've found an issue with [1], please don't start preparing the POI release without that being resolved. Andi [1] https://github.com/apache/poi/pull/90 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I don't fancy trying to merge the xmlbeans and poi ant builds. I've been trying for an hour or more and still getting issues. If the major objection to the com.github.pjfanning:xmlbeans dependency is that my name is in the groupId, I can request a new groupId from OSS Sonatype. They require that
