Answer 1

This is my rough attempt for getting "Date-only", "Time-Only" or "Date-Time" values of POI Cells

    ...
private String getCellValueAsString(Cell poiCell){

    if (poiCell.getCellType()==Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC && DateUtil.isCellDateFormatted(poiCell)) {
        //get date
        Date date = poiCell.getDateCellValue();

        //set up formatters that will be used below
        SimpleDateFormat formatTime = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        SimpleDateFormat formatYearOnly = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");

        /*get date year.
        *"Time-only" values have date set to 31-Dec-1899 so if year is "1899"
        * you can assume it is a "time-only" value 
        */
        String dateStamp = formatYearOnly.format(date);

        if (dateStamp.equals("1899")){
            //Return "Time-only" value as String HH:mm:ss
            return formatTime.format(date);
        } else {
            //here you may have a date-only or date-time value

            //get time as String HH:mm:ss 
            String timeStamp =formatTime.format(date);

            if (timeStamp.equals("00:00:00")){
                //if time is 00:00:00 you can assume it is a date only value (but it could be midnight)
                //In this case I'm fine with the default Cell.toString method (returning dd-MMM-yyyy in case of a date value)
                return poiCell.toString();
            } else {
                //return date-time value as "dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"
                return poiCell.toString()+" "+timeStamp;
            }
        }
    }

    //use the default Cell.toString method (returning "dd-MMM-yyyy" in case of a date value)
    return poiCell.toString();
}
