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. -TJ [1] - http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.1/gcj/Invocation.html#Invocation
