Remove bloated examples?
Hi,
I'm in the progress of fixing a few Sonar issues and came across the two examples SViewer and POIBrowser.
Those use either outdated technology like Applets or add a lot of unrelated code (/ some unrelated dependencies) to only a few POI calls.
With a silent/positive consensus, I'll remove them soon.

+1 to remove.
I don't think anyone uses applets nowadays.
Those interested can still find these examples in the old releases.

+1 for removal/moving to separate sample projects.
There also were a number of security incidents in examples lately, having
them in a separate project makes the separation clearer

I'm very often use my POI-Visualizer which is a kind of POIBrowser++, to understand the structure of OLE2 files and as a convenience tool for OOXML based files.
I thought about putting it into our source, but I don't like the idea of having new POI dependencies to JavaFX & Non-ASL-libraries and I don't want to limit the tool just because of those limitations. We have a section in the docs to link to such projects.
So for future larger example contribution - Excel compare comes to my mind ... - I would prefer to link to those outside of our repo.

That stuff was really useful when we had no documentation well over a decade ago.
I wonder if Nick or Yegor have an opinion about this.
