Adding images to Excel spreadsheet using POI

I have a need to generate an Excel spreadsheet, with images in Java (images
are derived from complex data built on the fly).

It looks like POI doesn't support images (it's on the to-do list).

Q1. Can someone confirm images can or can't be added?
Q2. Assuming it isn't possible yet, does anyone have an idea for a work
around?  I really don't want to have to resort to Visual Studio.

Thanks, Derek

2.5 can write but not read images in Escher format (Office Drawing).  You
use the Java2D APIs.  It sounds like this may suit your needs.
