I am ready to contribute my efforts to POI
Avik,
I am always ready to work on MS Office tools.
What ever the contributions I can send I can do that through the mails only.
But as I am new to this open source developer's community I just wanted to know few things
regarding the source codes.
1. What are the standards now the community is maintaining in developing the source codes.
2. How to upload source codes into CVS directory before releasing them to other people.
3. How the testing process will be done. What are the standards that the community is following to
test the source codes.
4. Who will write the test cases. Do developer himself need to identify the test cases or other
people also helps him to develop them.
5. Finally what else the community developer need to do. - If I am missing something
Regards
Sudhakar

Re: Are people started testing the Powerpoint sources that I have given??
Posted by Ralph Scheuer <ra...@gmx.net>.
Hello, Sudhakar,
as of last week, I have been using your PowerPoint extraction code.
Everything worked quite well in the beginning(apart from my inital
codepage problems).
However, today I tested against a file that lets me extract its textual
content, however, I get an exception.
Unfortunately, I am not able to send you the file. However, here is the
relevant part of the stack trace:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range:
251739780
at java.lang.String.checkBounds(String.java:287)
at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:370)
at PPT2Text.extractClientTextBoxes(PPT2Text.java:217)
at PPT2Text$PPTListener.processPOIFSReaderEvent(PPT2Text.java:71)
at
org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReader.processProperties(POIFS
Reader.java:259)
at
org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReader.read(POIFSReader.java:
95)
at PPT2Text.read(PPT2Text.java:412)
at
... the rest refers to my own code which only calls yours to extract
the text...
Just in case the line numbers are out of sync with yours (I pasted from
your e-mail): line 217 refers to the following piece of code:
String strTempContent = new String(pptdata, (int) j + 6,
(int) (nsize) + 2);
I have not investigated any further. Any idea?
I hope this is of some help to you because I am not able to provide the
file.
Thank you for the good work.
Ralph

Avik,
Thanks for the reply.
1. Did you ever have access to Microsoft File format documentation
under an NDA ?

Sudhakar,
Cool. I need a couple of things out of the way, then I will add this
into the CVS.
1. Did you ever have access to Microsoft File format documentation
under an NDA ?
2. Was the work you sent to the list done for your employer?
In response to your questions,
1. standadrs - well, to create the high quality software, what else?
2. cvs etc :http://www.apache.org/dev/contributors.html
3&4. POI has a large amount of testcases, and we are quite wary of
allowing any code into CVS without testcases. We write our testcases in
Junit, and expect all functionality OR bugfixes to be accompanied by
testcases. Of course, nothing is perfect, so there is always scope to
improve.
5. Be cool. Write good software :)
HTH
