Hello All,
I noticed a rather significant change submitted recently:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=824836
My concern is not about the functionality - this sounds very much like
something that POI should have. There are a few issues that come to
mind, however:
- This is a big chunk of work to submit with no supporting discussion
e.g. a bugzilla entry or dev mail thread
- There are now 7 new jars that POI depends on to build (my biggest concern)
- There may be licensing issues (I am not in a position to judge this
properly). The files all contain a comment "Based on the eID Applet
Project code. Original Copyright (C) 2008-2009 FedICT". Is there a
new relationship between POI and "eid-applet"? Could we at least
document somewhere that this code contribution is properly sanctioned?
- There is a (small) compiler error introduced apparently because the
original code was compiled against JDK 6.
cheers,
Josh
