[PATCH] Transparent use of unicode when setting cell content

           Summary: [PATCH] Transparent use of unicode when setting cell
                    content
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.0-dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: amichai@amichais.net


Setting a cell's content to a String containing unicode characters loses the 
unicode content unless setEncoding() is called first explicitly. This is 
unfriendly and unintuitive to developers using HSSF, since Java applications 
are expected to run with Unicode transparently. It should not be possible to 
lose unicode content under any circumstances, since it renders the String 
meaningless in any case.
