IReportEngine with SpudSoft Excel emitter Margin Constant Error

Hello,

Using birt runtime 4.2.2 in a Spring Web framework setup. Spudsoft Birt emitter excel 0.8.0.201306042016

Spudsoft jar and required jars in WEB-INF/lib folder.

Relevant code is:

RenderOption options = new RenderOption();
options.setOption("ExcelEmitter.SingleSheet", true);
options.setOption("ExcelEmitter.DisplayGridLines", true);
options.setOption("ExcelEmitter.DisplayRowColHeadings", true);
options.setOption("ExcelEmitter.DisplayZeros", true);
options.setOption(ExcelEmitter.STRUCTURED_HEADER, false);
		
if ("XLS".equalsIgnoreCase(ext)) {
	options.setEmitterID("uk.co.spudsoft.birt.emitters.excel.XlsEmitter");
	options.setOutputFileName(fileName + ".xls");
} else if ("XLSX".equalsIgnoreCase(ext)) {
	options.setEmitterID("uk.co.spudsoft.birt.emitters.excel.XlsxEmitter");
	options.setOutputFileName(fileName + ".xlsx");
}
return options;

and I get the following error:

So my code can find the jars but I have not found any settings for margins except at the hssf level and not sure why I need to based on how BIRT generates other outputs such as HTML or PDF.

I also looked over:

SpudSoft Examples

and it appears I am using the emitter correctly? I have tried using the EXCELRenderOption with no change in the end result or trying with just setting EmitterID and no other options.

Any help appreciated - thank you.
