> If the value of an e:cell is null , an exception is thrown due to a lack of null checks in JXLHelper.createCell(). It would be better if the cell value was empty in the case of nulls, just like JSF's and Facelets' <h:outputText value="#{aNull}"/> outputsan empty string when encountering nulls.
> Workaround described below, but it gets very tedious adding null checks for hundreds of cells across multiple worksheets.
