[Bioc-devel] FW: Java version issue on Bioconductor test platform

[Pages, Herve]

Hi Arman,

Sure, if xlsx is broken and won't be fixed, use something else. Maybe 
try openxlsx? Similar to xlsx but doesn't require Java:

   https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=openxlsx

But why would you use something else on Mac only? It's easier from a 
maintenance point of view if you use the same code on all platforms, 
whenever possible.

Best,
H.
