/**
 * This is the class that backs the {@code } tag in the Ant task.
 * 
 * Its purpose is to provide a way to manipulate a workbook in the course
 * of an ExcelAnt task.  The idea being to model a way for test writers to
 * simulate the behaviors of the workbook.
 * 

 * Suppose, for example, you have a workbook that has a worksheet that
 * reacts to values entered or selected by the user.  It's possible in
 * Excel to change other cells based on this but this isn't easily possible
 * in POI.  In ExcelAnt we handle this using the Handler, which is a Java
 * class you write to manipulate the workbook.
 * 
 * In order to use this tag you must write a class that implements the
 * {@code IExcelAntWorkbookHandler} interface.  After writing the
 * class you should package it and it's dependencies into a jar file to
 * add as library in your Ant build file.
