All ongoing work on OOXML is done in a separate svn branch and is not
included in this release.
However, this release includes initial support for OOXML text
extractors contributed by Nick and Ugo around the New Year:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/tags/REL_3_1_BETA1/src/scratchpad/ooxml-src/
This code was also included in 3.0.2. It's only a few classes intended
for text extraction from OOXML files.
Regards,
Yegor

Right, zapped from trunk. The only ooxml support is now in the branch,
which is also the version everyone should use who wants it

Andy,
Would you please edit the Bugzilla settings and add the recent POI
versions: 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and 3.1 to the version list box? You seem to be
the only person I know who has "mojo" to edit products.

I completely agree with you. We do need Bugzilla cleanup.
Right now we have 200+ bugs and many of them go back to POI 2.0 or
even 1.5! It would be nice to normalize and reduce it. By normalizing
I mean closing duplicates and not reproducible bugs. Also, many bugs
should be converted from "open" to "need info", otherwise they will
stay in the open state forever.
As to the important outstanding bugs, every of us has his own punch list.
Personally, I try to keep the HSLF bug list clean and fix
escher-related bugs in HSSF. When talking about the bug-fix roadmap,
my favorite bug is OutOfMemoryError when reading/creating large xls files.
I do want to fix it although it seems to be not trivial.

+1 looks OK to me.
Some general comments though -
It would be nice if we could get Bugzilla cleaned up a bit. Right now
(please correct me if I am wrong) we don't have a very good view of
the important outstanding bugs on POI. It seems like that would be a
sensible thing to consult when making a release. Another simple
improvement would be to add the recent versions (3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.1,
etc) to the select box, to help distinguish bug reports after this
release.

That was my impression too.

Though it should be pointed out that this initial ooxml support is only
included in the source releases. No binaries get built
Also, it might be worth zapping this code out of trunk, now the stuff in
the branch has moved on so much. There's no easy route from the text
extractors in trunk to the ones in the branch, as we have changed class
names and constructors. Just add a note that people wanting ooxml support
should use the branch.
(I don't think this zapping is enough to stop this beta, just think it's
something worth doing before the next one. Also, I'm happy to remove it
if people agree)
