Description

The setStyleName method on the Paragraph class in the SimpleAPI doesn't appear to do anything. In my case I have been trying to set a style that was preconfigured in a template. I have just checked, and a style that was set in code appears to do the same.

Here's a short snippet.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    TextDocument odt = TextDocument.newTextDocument();

    OdfOfficeStyles s = odt.getOrCreateDocumentStyles();
    OdfStyle veryRed = s.newStyle("Very_red", OdfStyleFamily.Paragraph);
    veryRed.setProperty(OdfParagraphProperties.BackgroundColor, "#ff0000");
    
    // Create a paragraph
    Paragraph p1 = odt.addParagraph("Blah.");
    
    // I think these two lines are supposed to be equivalent, however,
    // when you comment out the first one, the style is lost.
    p1.getOdfElement().setStyleName("Very_red");
    p1.setStyleName("Very_red");
    
    // Save the file
    odt.save("result.odt");
}

I looked into how to fix this, and I think it might be as simple as changing a few lines in Paragraph's constructor. But I don't really feel comfortable doing it seeing as I have only been using this library for a few days.
