+ <title>Working with Eclipse</title>
+ <p>
+ Apache POI includes a pre-defined Eclipse project file which can be
+ used to quickly get set up in the Eclipse IDE.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In order to get started, first build Apache POI using Ant as described above
+ to get all required 3rd party libraries downloaded.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Then import the project in Eclipse via File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Note: when executing junit tests from within Eclipse, you might need to set the system
+ property "POI.testdata.path" to make the test framework find the required test-files.
