DO NOT REPLY [Bug 48617] New: Use explicit locale when formatting Excel cells

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48617

           Summary: Use explicit locale when formatting Excel cells
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.7-dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jukka@apache.org

proposed patch

As already noted in bug 47372, the current Excel cell formatting code in POI
always uses the current default locale. This can be troublesome as the exact
output may be hard to predict without explicitly setting the default locale
(which is not possible in many environments).

It would be great if it was possible to specify the locale that you want to
be used when formatting numbers and dates. See the attached patch for a
proposed
way to do this.

For more background, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-371.

Thanks. Patch applied to svn, along with a unit test that seems to show it
behaves as expected.
