For OOXML to work you need the POI-OOXML jar which is separately packaged from the POI jar.

Download the POI-OOXML jar from the following location -

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/poi/poi-ooxml/3.11/poi-ooxml-3.11.jar

For Maven2 add the below dependency -

    org.apache.poi
    poi-ooxml
    3.11
