could not find createDataFormat in POI 1.5.1

[CJ...@aol.com]

Hi there,

I'm using POI 1.5.1 because this is the latest release, and I was told that 
this is a quite stable one while newer ones would not be as stable.

In the PDF docs it is explained that custom data formats can be built with 
the method createDataFormat of the class HSSFWorkbook. Unfortunately, in 1.5.1 
it seems that this method does not exist in this class. In Google I found that 
this method was introduced in 1.11.0 . Is this really the case? Do I have a 
chance to create custom data formats with 1.5.1 in a different way? Or did I 
miss something? Or do I need to use a new version?

Kind regards,
Christian

Not an answer to your specific needs but why don't you try 2.0pre to see 
if it fills your needs?  If something doesn't work, report it and we'll 
do our best to correct it for you.  IMO 2.0pre is pretty stable, for my 
needs anyway.
