POI version

[thomashoef]

Hi!

Would it be easy to update POI to 3.17 - what would the steps be that are required?

Thanks
Thomas

Hi,

1. there has to be a bundled version of POI 3.17
2. the current version comes from Eclipse Orbit and there is currently no newer version available on Orbit so you would have to create one by yourself
3. after you have created the bundle, either add it to the BIRT source or to Eclipse Orbit and update all emitters that depend on POI to the new version
4. make sure everything works as expected and you're good to go 😃

Hi Alexander, Thanks a lot for your reply. Could you pls let me know where in the BIRT source I can place to bundle jar? I was planning on picking up the new POI bundle jar from here: https://jar-download.com/artifacts/org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.poi Thanks!

That's a good question. The bundle jar has to get into the target platform somehow. Maybe you find a way to do this in the documentation of tycho, which is used to build BIRT. Maybe tycho can even use a maven dependency to the jar as the source of the bundle.

Btw, the bundle jar is available in maven central: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.poi
