Hello all,

I was poking around the built in modules, and I noticed that the Reporting Module is still using Apache POI 3.14. I know that class loading for this library has been an issue in the past, and I was wondering if there were any plans to upgrade it for Ign 8. Thanks.

Right now it’s still at 3.14. I tried to upgrade it in the past and it’s not trivial – even from 3.14 to 3.17 there were a lot of breaking changes. 😢
