Cannot import XSSF in Apache POI

Question

I am referencing the version 3.7 of the Apache POI and I am getting a \"cannot be resolved\" error when I do:

import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbo         


        

Answer 1

I needed the following files for my implementation:

• poi-ooxml-schemas-3.14.20160307.jar
• commons-codec-1.10.jar (this was in "lib" folder of the zip file you get from apache)
• curvesapi-1.03.jar (in "ooxml-lib" folder)
• poi-3.14-20160307.jar
• poi-ooxml-3.14-20160307.jar
• xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar (in "ooxml-lib" folder)

(though honestly, I'm not completely sure they are all necessary...) It's a little confusing because they are packaged that way. I needed to place them manually in my own "lib" folder and then add the references...

Maven always seems to download more than I need, so I always place libaries/dlls and things like that manually.
