Crash in HSSF

[Jim Cobban <jc...@magma.ca>]

HSSF is crashing trying to read some of my Excel spreadsheets.  This is with
jakarta-poi-1.5.1-final-20020615.jar.  I guess I am just going to have to
download all of the source.

I'd guess you have it open somewhere already.  I used to have to close 
JBuilder and do this.

You can just put the class higher in the classpath.

I am trying to fix this problem.  I have inserted debugging code into the
class, compiled it, and I am trying to update the jar so I can test it out.
But when I attempt to add the updated class file into the jar I get the
following error.

D:\MyPrograms\JavaProgs\CensusServlet>jar uf
D:\MyPrograms\JavaProgs\CensusServlet\ReadXls\lib\jakarta-poi-1.5.1-final-20
020615.jar
D:\MyPrograms\JavaProgs\CensusServlet\ReadXls\org\apache\poi\hssf\record\Hea
derRecord.class

        at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:179)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)

I would really appreciate some ideas on how to fix this problem.
