read.xlsx2 ignores headless column, read.xlsx doesn't

[ulrik....@gmail.com]

Hello list,

Thank you Adrian for making it possible to read Excel data tables into R.

I have noticed that read.xlsx2 ignores a headless column while read.xlsx doesn't. The column is included if column indices are specified.

I find it unexpected that columns are ignored. Is this because the very first row is used to define columns

Attached is a test xlsx file, my comment made clear by
read.xlsx("test.xlsx", sheetIndex=1, colClasses=NA)
read.xlsx2("test.xlsx", sheetIndex=1, colClasses=NA)
read.xlsx2("test.xlsx", sheetIndex=1, colClasses=NA, colIndex=c(1,2,3))

Cheers,
Ulrik
