Description

Create a spreadsheet with a cell. Call
cell.setValueType(OfficeValueTypeAttribute.Value.TIME.toString());

then call
cell.getTimeValue();

gives
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse(SimpleDateFormat.java:1234)

I'd expect null if no value is set. Blowing its brains out is not considered a reasonable reply.

The same thing using DATE valueType doesn't cause this AFAIK
