What Are Current POI Release Plans?
Hi-
OK. There was an attempt at a POI 3.alpha3 release last month, and
Jakarta got into a big snit because it wasn't done right, etc. Then
there has been a whole lot of effort to get everything updated to the
current Jakarta standards. (This is the short version and I don't
care about all the details as there is a long, long thread on Jakarta
General about it.)
Where is POI now? Is it almost time to vote for an actual release?
IMHO the next release might as well be a "final" or "RC" one and not
"alpha" or "beta"
Could someone (Nick?) please provide a roadmap?
I know that Yegor wants to do some HSLF refactoring to contribute
some of the style improvements that he has already completed for me.
He doesn't have every feature covered yet and this shouldn't
necessarily block anything.
Best Regards,
Dave Fisher

The legal team have approved the wording (they actually made a few
changes) and were very much for the idea of having the text. It came
out of some commercial projects unintentionally infringing the Tomcat
trademark. If we had had the text in place before the discussions with
them started it would have made the whole process a lot smoother.

I was never a fan or stating the obvious, but that'll probably make me a bad
lawyer. What's the apache legal team view on stuff like this? Have they
approved the tomcat page? I'm loath to do this without some sort of official
word....

It full project name is (still) officially Apache Jakarta POI, although I don't think we should
exclude Apache POI and Jakarta POI from the list of not allowed TM usage..

Certainly some of the following may be wrong like "Apache Jakarta
PMC" and there is probably no "Powered by POI" logo.
Also, Is "Apache POI" or is "Apache Jakarta POI" or "Jakarta POI"
better? The logo says "Apache POI"
Other than the other trademark list is the following helpful?

Happy to. I am not planning any changes to the build at the moment. If
this changes I'll let the list know. Most of what I still have to
commit is setting svn properties and inserting / changing licence text
which should, unless I mess something up, have zero impact on poi
functionality or on the build.
Two things I think it would be good to do but some feedback before I
do then would be nice are:
1. Delete /src/documentation/content/xdocs/dtd since they aren't used
for validation and the xml doesn't conform to them (older dtds from
forrest are used instead)
2. Add a some trademark usage words (like that on

functions with empty parameterlist not working?
Posted by Michael Perkonigg <mi...@liland.at>.
Hello,
I'm new to POI and this mailing list.
I tried POI 3.0 and I ran into troubles using Excel functions like
TODAY() with an empty parameter list.
It seems that in the FormulaParser class in Ident at the end of the
method an empty parameter list is taken as a cell reference:
...
} else {
//this can be either a cell ref or a named range !!
boolean cellRef = true ; //we should probably do it with reg
exp??
boolean boolLit = (name.equals("TRUE") || name.equals("FALSE"));
if (boolLit) {
tokens.add(new BoolPtg(name));
} else if (cellRef) {
tokens.add(new ReferencePtg(name));
}else {
//handle after named range is integrated!!
}
}
}
This results in a formula string like:
TODAY(ATTR(semiVolatile))
which excepts:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid Formula cell reference:
'SEMIVOLATILE'
at org.apache.poi.hssf.util.CellReference.<init>(CellReference.java:47)
Actually it strikes me that this semiVolatile might be created much
earlier and the Ident just assumes it must be a cell reference...
Is that a bug and is someone working at it or is there no hope for a
solution soon?
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Mike

A number if source files have no header at all. I haven't done an
exhaustive check but the ones I found on my random wander through the
source were:
font_metrics.properties
various package.html files
various xml files
My reading of http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html is that
most, if not all, of these files require headers and that this really
does need to be fixed before the next release.
I should have some time to fix these over the next week or so. It
would be easier to grant me the necessary karma to fix these myself
but I can provide patches on a bugzilla entry if you prefer. Let me know.
I also spotted a handful of "nice to have"s whilst I was looking at
the build process. Again karma or patches? Let me know.

Most important issue was the file headers. Been fixed. Key signing needs to
be arranged.
Everything else (IMO) was a wishlist and/or general QA issue, not unexpected
in an alpha release.

We still need to do a few more tweaks to the build process. I'm hoping to
get that sorted within a week.
My plan after that was:
1) Lazy consensus vote to fork a release branch
2) Fork a release branch
3) Prod people to review outstanding bugs, and decide which of them we
should fix for 3.0
4) Ensure that patches go against trunk and the release branch
5) Wait for the patches to come rolling in
6) Do periodic release candidate builds
7) Do a vote to release one of these as -FINAL, once people are happy with
them

I have patches ready to go for all of these and a few others. I've
just seen Martin has enabled my commit access so I should have these
fixed soon - I want to do a few more tests before committing.
The committers repository contains a couple of useful licensing tools.
I have been using insert_license.pl that does a good audit of all file
types (properties, java, html, xml etc)

Yegor is often off the net on weekends cross country skiing or running.
That said here is what I know -

I don't know if Yegor has found any "show stoppers", but the list of
bugs will be shorter and easier for your own review.

There is one that I'd like to commit that I have uploaded the patch to
bugzilla before a final. It is rather serious (Causes HSSF to barf with
an array index exception). I will commit it once my account gets
straightened out.

For HSSF we have 84 open issues in the bugzilla.
I'm going to sort them out.
There are duplicates of already closed bugs or bugs that were fixed but not closed.
It's a good idea to clean up the bug database before the release.

Build/release stuff WAS Re: What Are Current POI Release Plans?
Posted by "Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@buni.org>.
Umm...okay so there will be a POI release when we release it. The rest
is not part of a topic that I'm interested in discussing anymore.
Build issues that I'm aware of:
1. Someone needs to anoint themselves release manager for 3.x.x XXx
2. Someone needs to get a valid key recognized by Apache.
Given that I mainly only do patches anymore to fulfill customer requests
and they have a long bake time and tend to be "out of range" for long
periods of time, I'd like the first two not to be me.
Lastly:
can someone please figure out if we have any other REAL issues and list
them here? Some seemed to be "preference" issues of Jakarta members. I
do not plan to assist in satiating those. #2 is a serious issue, we
should be signing releases. I will help with any serious legal or
technical issues as the integrity of POI is important to me / our business.
thanks,
Andy

Yes - is it close now, or not? That is all I meant by "roadmap"
BTW - Didn't I say I didn't want to get into that awful Jakarta
General discussion. (I understand completely your "Ackerly" issue -
having licensed a Microsoft Excel Developers SDK 12 years ago.)
Yegor wouldn't be volunteering if I hadn't assigned him to work with
POI 2 years ago, and that is no lie. I stay on the sidelines and
offer advice.
Generating Excel and PPT is important to us.
(As is PDF, but that isn't in POI's roadmap. I generated PDF from C++
for Acrobat 1.0 in the early 90's. If Bill Gates is really jealous of
PDF then he should have published the office file formats in 1992. He
missed it, just like he missed the internet. I have it on good
authority that just like Ballmer won't let his kids have an iPod,
Bill won't look at a PDF.)
I didn't intend this to be a "venom" thread, but you should know that
if you tap it all of us have some. If we didn't have some Microsoft
"issues" we wouldn't be eating the POI.
Again, when and how will there be a POI release?
Peace,
Dave
