Apache POI is an open source project. None of the developers who contribute to POI do so full time. There is no Oracle/Sun (OpenOffice) or Microsoft (Office) contributing resources to the project at this time.
Rather than reading an old quote from a five year old forum entry that is not from this list, I suggest you look at the current version of that page: http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/index.html HWPF is actually a case where Microsoft hired Ryan Ackerly. In the process they require non-disclosure agreements. Also at this time the documentation was closed and everything in POI was discovered through hacking. Documentation is available from Microsoft. > http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=670895 > > This URL quotes that "soon you'll be able to read and write word documents" > > purely from java code. > > Is this happening? > > Is there a version out now, It works for some, but there are holes. > that enhances the Range class or like > for automatic insertion of jpg/gif/bmp Picture class insertion > properly, for the use, simply by using a method > and avoiding the problem of Picture headers within > an HWPFDocument object? > > If not, about when will this be happening? It will happen when code is contributed which solves the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
