Actually, I want to get the value in cells and change them to String in 
Java.(numeric -> String, string -> String, and so on).
Sometimes, I'm not sure what CellType it is. So I want to know the CellType at 
first, and then I can convert them to String.

As you said, I can directly use DataFormatter to convert the cell value to a 
printed String. The printed String is what I want. Am I correct?
