[PATCH] New Enhancements and some buggs fixed





------- Additional Comments From phamlen@teachforamerica.org  2004-04-13 01:45 -------
Just some additional notes from someone in the field:  I have applied his
patches to my own copy of the 2.5 final source.  There was one compiler error:
compile-main:
    [javac] Compiling 383 source files to /devel/jakarta/poi/build/classes
    [javac]
/devel/jakarta/poi/src/java/org/apache/poi/hssf/util/HSSFCellRangeAddress.java:162:
unreachable statement
    [javac]        return 2 + this.field_addr_number*8;;
    [javac]                                            ^
    [javac] Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
    [javac] Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
    [javac] 1 error

Once you remove the extraneous semicolon, it compiles fine.

For me the new version successfully reads, alters and writes back out Excel 2000
files with validation set to:
1) a list (ie, yes,no,maybe)
2) a range of cells (ie, $H1:$H4)
3) a named external reference (ie, =dropDown)

I suspect this patch will also fix bug# 27929 and bug# 28136
