title: How to set character encode in workbook, sheet and cells of HSSF Classes in Apache POI beyond 3.7 version?
body: <p>It seems that the character-encoding methods for the HSSF Excel Classes have been taken out from the 3.8 release. I really need to specify the enconding on at least the cells. The API does not even register the encoding methods any more, not even as deprecated, they have left the static fields of encoding, though.</p>
