Description S. Cook CLA 2011-12-13 11:59:41 EST 
The ExcelXmlWriter class needs to be improved in order to handle a variety of data types intelligently, rather than simply treating everything as a String.  This includes refactoring a few methods in the parent class, AbstractSheetWriter, to use Object's rather than String's in order to make it more generic, and improving the method ExcelXmlWriter.writeCellText() to determine instanceof and writing the appropriate data type into the XML stream.
