Thanks for keeping POI growing! I'm a long-time user. My day job finally got to Java 6. 7 is a distant dream. You could use yoda-time to get the new date classes, at least. That's what our developers do.
I filed a bug report [Bug 56454] XSSFSheet.shiftRows(...) Is there any way to find out if someone is working on it or when I can get a version with the fix? Thanks. Write on!
