Answer 1

This is covered in the Apache POI FAQ! The entry you want is I'm using the poi-ooxml-schemas jar, but my code is failing with "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openxmlformats/schemas/something"

The short answer is to switch the poi-ooxml-schemas jar for the full ooxml-schemas-1.1 jar. The full answer is given in the FAQ

For reading excels or docx file if you want to solve errors you need to add all jars then you wont get any error.
