<p>Hi, <br>
</p>
<p>I am running a java program that uses BIRT api to produce the reports. I need to produce .xlsx excel files so I am using spudsoft's emitter. </p>
<p>I followed the instructions and it worked like a charm, producing the excel doc. Really beautifully. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, I removed all of the references to spudsoft's jar and aux libraries it needs. But left the </p>
<p>`option.setOption("emiiter_id","uk.co.spudsoft.....") intact in my java code. I was expecting that now that removed all the refs to jars, I would get a runtime error (missing jar, or wrong emitter etc). however the code ran very fine and produced another beautiful excel .xlsx . Restarted the eclipse (thinking emitter is cached), restarted computer, deleted all .jar files that pertain to this emitter. Still am able to produce xlsx files. I know for a fact default .xls emitter is not kicking in... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can someone explain how it is possible that BIRT is using the spudsoft's emitter even if there are no spudsoft.jar present at all? </p>
<p>Does spudsoft modify anything on the first run? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>thanks!! </p>
