- Subject: New package proposal: Apache POI
I'm interested in contributing a new addition to the rhug collection -
the Apache POI library for reading and writing Microsoft Office documents.
Apache POI is open source and licensed under the Apache license. Once
this is built under GCJ, I would like to write some KOffice filters for
MSOffice formats. KOffice is written in C++, so we need to be able to
invoke the Java POI code from C++. One of the nice features about GCJ
3.1 is the ability to invoke Java code from C++[1], hence the interest
in GCJ and adding this project to rhug.
