Status of Office Open XML Support

[Chris Metcalf <ch...@blist.com>]

We're interested in adding support for The Office Open XLSX format to  
some of our tools.

According to http://poi.apache.org/ it is currently in a development  
branch and is scheduled to be finalized later this summer.

What is the current state of the development code? Is it in a usable  
and reliable state or should we wait until later in the year when the  
wrinkles have been ironed out?

Thanks,
Chris Metcalf

Hi Chris,

i suggest you to wait a more stable release of POI, we also introduced 
support for the Office2007 format in our commercial solution called 
LogicalDOC(the commercial version of Contineo).
In this case we decided to develop our own text etractors.

Best Regards

It's in svn, and many people are using it just fine. However, it isn't yet 
feature complete, so for example not everything in hssf is currently 
supported in xssf

I'd suggest giving it a try, and see if it already does all you need. You 
can get nightly builds from
