The portable document format (PDF) is the most commonly used document format in the industry, mainly due to its simplicity and portability. PDF has become the standard format for generating company reports, brochures, and presentations. Hence today's applications are expected to generate reports in numerous formats including HTML, rich text, and PDF. Most application servers and other server software provide direct support for generating HTML, text, and rich text documents, but there are no application servers that provide PDF document-generation support. iText is a Java based API that fills this gap by providing a simple, easy-to-use PDF document generator.
iText has a simple API, which can be used to simultaneously generate PDF, rich text, and HTML documents.

Poi is also a Hawaiian delicacy that Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines as: "A Hawaiian food of taro root cooked, pounded, and kneaded to a paste and often allowed to ferment." This seemed strangely descriptive of the file format.
So if you like acronyms, then POI is an acronym. If you hate them, then we just used the name of the food for our project. If you wish to signify your love or hate for acronyms, use POI or Poi to refer to the project, respectively.

MAVEN: A PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
Nontrivial software projects need build tools. In the Java world, there's no shortage of these tools, with Ant being the standard.
Maven is another project management/build tool on the open source scene. Maven, which is compatible with Ant, is a project management tool that takes Ant concepts several steps further. Maven isn't built on top of Ant, but it can take advantage of, and even generate, Ant
build scripts.
http://trialware.techrepublic.com/abstract.aspx?docid=90038
In order to use Maven, you must first create a Project Object Model (POM). The default POM is the project.xml file. The POM describes your application and its dependencies. Maven uses the POM to build your project and related documentation. Once you have a basic project.xml file, you can use it as a template for all of your projects.
Maven has goals, which are roughly analogous to Ant's targets. Maven also has many useful predefined goals for compiling, deploying, generating documentation, generating Ant build scripts, and creating jars, wars, ears, etc. It's all built right in. And if there's something missing, you can build your own plug-ins without too much effort.
Two of Maven's coolest features are jar repositories and project site generation. Jar repositories are local or remote sites that contain jar files. When you document a jar dependency in your POM at build time, Maven will automatically download the necessary version of the jar into its local repository. This feature can make building your projects less
painful. The project site generation goal creates a professional Web site of your project, including links to syntax highlighted source code, code metrics, javadoc, unit test results, and more.
One common (and valid) complaint about Maven is that sometimes it's slow. Some developers have resorted to using Maven to create an Ant file that they use for daily development, and then use Maven to distribute their projects or as part of a nightly build process.
In any case, the features that Maven provides make it deserving of at least a serious evaluation.

OOP was improved and interoperability with Java is a reality.
According to netcraft, it already surpassed ASP as the most popular web scripting language and is being utilized on over 15 million websites today.

The US net provider EarthLink said it uncovered an average of 28 spyware programs on each PC scanned during the first three months of the year.
Spyware is a broad term for programs that hide on a person's computer without their knowledge. It has become so pervasive that lawmakers in the US are looking into ways to prevent or regulate it.
Hidden away
The Spy Audit by EarthLink reflects the results of scans involving over one million computers between January and March.

| While most spyware is adware-related and relatively benign, it's disturbing that over 300,000 of the more serious system monitors and Trojans were uncovered
Matt Cobb, EarthLink. |
The details are often included in the license agreement small print that most users click through without reading.
But sometimes they do not even need your permission to download, but just bury themselves on a hard drive as you browse the net.
With the exception of pop-up ads or a slower computer, people may not notice anything different when spyware programs are present, say experts.
Insidious software
EarthLink said the most common type of spyware it found was adware. These are programs that display ads on an infected computer and also send data about surfing habits.
But it also found examples of more insidious spyware.
"While most spyware is adware-related and relatively benign, it's disturbing that over 300,000 of the more serious system monitors and Trojans were uncovered," said Matt Cobb of EarthLink.
"This figure represents how real a threat identity theft or system corruption is for users."
System monitors can surreptitiously watch what you do, steal personal information and despatch it across the web, while Trojans can allow malicious hackers to get access to a computer and steal information.
"By tracking and publicising the growth of spyware, we can better educate consumers of its risks and encourage them to take steps to protect themselves and their families while online," said Christine Stevenson of Webroot, which conducted the scans.
People concerned about what might be lurking on their machine can download software such as the popular SpyBot to disinfect their computer.
