| <p>The POI Utils are classes we're looking to donate elsewhere and include. |
| These are usually classes that while are required for our mission, |
| are somehow outside of it. General utilities that could be used in |
| any project are what we would normally put here. If you see one, and you |
| think "gee that would be great as part of X project" then let us know. |
| While we wish to put these in their rightful place, we also don't want to |
| include a 40mb jar file just to process text strings, so that will |
| be a consideraton. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Currently, we're looking into which subprojects in the Jakarta Commons project |
| to donate these too. The "POI Utils" package won't go away, as there may |
| be later classes. The idea is that "go ahead and add it, we'll merge it or |
| find an alternative later, just keep pounding out that poi!" |
