I'm generating footnotes in DOCX and I found the Footnote API insufficient for my needs. I'm working with POI 3.0.0.
I expected to be able to create an XWPFFootnote using e.g. doc.addNewFootnote() or doc.getFootnotes().addNewFootnote() but it doesn't look like those types of methods are implemented. The only thing I could find was addFootnote(CTFtnEdn), which requires constructing the CTFtnEdn directly, which means constructing the CTP and CTR body components directly, as far as I can tell. There's XWPFFootnotes.addFootnote(XWPFFootnote footnote) but I couldn't find a way to construct a new XWPFFootnote that didn't require that I already have a CTFtnEdn constructed. Am I missing a way to construct footnotes using the XWPF* classes rather than the underlying CT* classes? If I'm not missing it, I can do the work to enhance the WXPFFootnote API to do what I want if nobody's already working on it. I've successfully created footnotes using the current API but it's not a good fit with the rest of my code, which is generating XWPF* objects from incoming XML source (a generic simplified word processing document representation).
