Hi All, Nightly Builds
You may or may not have noticed the POI nightly builds haven't been working. I was doing some re-engineering of HPSF and had to do it in steps so the build was broken. If the build is broken then obviously the nightly builds don't upload. I've tested the build and I expect it to work tonight. Enjoy. HPSF I've finished the work I plan to do on HPSF. It now compiles and while I see no unit test errors I assume that it is broken. I could not figure out what the ClassID class was doing. I moved it out of littleenidan package into the HPSF package as it seems to be more than a root primitive anyhow. I commented out the function that isn't working and threw a runtime exception so that the rest of the code could build. Contrib/POI Browser There is only one class (PropertySetRenderer) that seemed to be affected. In the interest of compilation I threw runtime exceptions wherever it was affected (only 2 places). HPSF Testing I did not see any unit test failures so I assume that everything I did was correct without any real knowledge of the code. I at the moment do not have any projects to use this code on so I'll have to come back to it when I do. Contribution Rainer - Rainer, can you please look at ClassID? It shouldn't take you long. To whom it may concern - Anyone, using HPSF with an interest in it working, should take a look at it and see if it works. I'd like to see this code with a little more javadoc and unit tests. Not all of this code is up to our community standards (see resolutions/001) and I'd like to see it get there. Conclusion - I'm done with HPSF for now. There is some minor hemorrhaging around the wounds that require attention of someone with more familiarity with this code. The stuff compiles, needs some unit tests and a bit more javadoc, but I've done my part of getting it to use org.apache.poi.util.LittleEndian and made adaptations to LittleEndian to support this. Contrib/PoiBrowser shouldn't be much work to get working again once someone fixes ClassID -- But I didn't touch it any more than to get it to compile. thanks, Andy -- http://www.superlinksoftware.com - software solutions for business http://jakarta.apache.org/poi - Excel/Word/OLE 2 Compound Document in Java http://krysalis.sourceforge.net/centipede - the best build/project structure a guy/gal could have! - Make Ant simple on complex Projects!
