charsets and encodings with HSSF

Hi,

If an excel file has Japanese data which is in Shift_JIS, how does it get 
retrieved -- I guess we need to set the encoding with the 
HSSFCell.setEncoding(...) method? But the list of expected encodings does 
not include Shift_JIS. So then how should we read/extract this data ?

thanks,
nishant

use UTF_16.  I had no idea what I was talking about. .  Just think of 
that as "wide characters"...
