JRXlsExporter calls deprecated method.

Initially, I was having a problem with the duplicate color definition in POI. In trying to resolve that problem, I found that this was resolved by a new version of POI (> 3.1). However, the latest (3.5-beta) deprecates the method addMergedRegion (Region). The new form of the method is addMergedRegion (CellRangeAddress). I also saw that JasperReports was updated to 3.1.0. However, I supose, since the POI is still beta, the method in JR was not updated. As a last resort, I punted and went back to 3.0.1. This seems to work. However, will JR be updated when the POI is final to reflect this (and perhaps other) changes?

Thanks,

Edward.

Hi,

I too am being affected by this problem, I need to use POI 3.5beta4 for its support of OOXML file formats, this then breaks my ability to render XLS files from JasperReports because of the removed (instead of deprecated) method addMergedRegion.

Are there any plans to release a patch to JasperReports, or is there a place were I can get a preview/patched copy that fixes this problem?

Thanks,

Andy.
