General utilities that could be used in + any project are what we would normally put here. If you see one, and you + think "gee that would be great as part of X project" then let us know. + While we wish to put these in their rightful place, we also don't want to + include a 40mb jar file just to process text strings, so that will + be a consideraton. + </p> + <p> + Currently, we're looking into which subprojects in the Jakarta Commons project + to donate these too. The "Poi Utils" package won't go away, as there may + be later classes. The idea is that "go ahead and add it, we'll merge it or + find an alternative later, just keep pounding out that poi!" + </p> </s1> </body> |
