Comment 1 gil cattaneo 2015-02-14 11:52:23 EST
There are some problems to solve for upgrade Apache Poi to 3.11
#1, i have no idea what license they use these files, used by poi-ooxml* artefacts

http://uri.etsi.org/01903/v1.4.1/XAdESv141.xsd

#2 Apache Poi to 3.11 use xml-security 2.x, xml-security update would cause compatibility problems that for now prefer to avoid
