Are all/most Apache projects based on Java? Is there a C++ POI?
I just re-discovered POI after several years (to be honest, I had
given up on it) and it looks like you folks have been really busy.
Thanks for all your hard and productive work...
The progress POI has made is remarkable!
Anyway...
I have been researching a way to handle spreadsheets programmatically
in C++, but my search has been fruitless. All I found is "ExcelFormat"
which has many shortcomings. To begin with, it doesn't handle XML.
Questions:
Is there some POI or POI-like project based on C++?
Out of curiosity:
Are most/all Apache projects based on Java?
Notice that I am not complaining, I have developed in Java in the
past, love the language, and just have to un-rust my Java skills.
TIA,
-Ramon

While I was looking for some Java coding to easily handle the transformation
of objects to EXCEL using XML I did come across some .net libraries that do
everything that you could possibly want to do.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302084
It should be far easier to integrate with this than trying to integrate C++
with Java. The library is very complete.
Hope this helps.

If your goal is to read/write MS Office files with C/C++ then your best bet
would be either to use the MS APIs (if your solution is Windows only) or use
the Open Office API (if you want a cross-platform solution).
Hope this helps,

As nobody else has answered this, I will have a go.
Firstly, I cannot comment on the languages used/targetted by most of the
projects collected under the Apache umbrella, that question may be better
directed at the ASF themselves. For now, take a look here for a list of the
projects - http://www.apache.org/ - most have hyperlinks that you can click
for further information.
With regard to POI, I believe an attempt was made some time ago to port the
api to C++ as I found the following with a simple Google search -
http://osdir.com/ml/jakarta.poi.devel/2002-05/msg00147.html - but I do not
know if it came to anything and, as you can see, that message is quite old.
Yours
