Description

Hi,

It's a very trivial issue.

I was using OdfPackage.isExternalReference(String) in my project, and now this method is set "private" in OdfPackage and "protected" in OdfPackageDocument.

Is it possible to set it again public?

Obviously, I've copied/pasted the (very short) code in my project, but maybe it would be cleaner to have it written only once.

I need it because the documents which I generate will be electronically signed, and they must be stable and not depend on an external content. So I convert external links into internal ones, after having downloaded the content.

This occurs mainly when I insert a document, which may come from an HTML page. See issue #177 which I'm working on (patch coming soon).

Regards,

Philippe.
