Problems building Apache POI 3.8 on Ubuntu 10.04

[Stuart Owen <so...@cs.manchester.ac.uk>]

Hi,
     I get a build error when I try and build the downloaded src package 
for 3.8. This is on Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) with the latest updates.
     I downloaded poi-src-3.8-20120326.tar.gz and run
 >ant clean
 >ant dist

     after a period of downloading dependent jars, and building stuff, 
it eventually fails at:

build.xml:412: taskdef class org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.XMLBean 
cannot be found

I guess I need to install a new ant task package, but I can't find a 
suitable package for Ubuntu.

I am using the Apache Ant version 1.7.1 that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 and 
is updated to the latest version.

Any tips?

cheers,
Stuart

It does seem to be a problem downloading the xmlbeans jar, as jar tvf 
reports an error opening the zip file. What is strange is that it always 
occurs, I have tried removing the jar file and re-downloading it several 
times with the same result. However, if I copy the link and download via 
my browser the file is fine.
I am using the sun-java6-jdk which appears to be the only difference - I 
will try again using OpenJDK later.

Builds for me just fine on 10.04 with OpenJDK, and the system supplied ant 
(1.7.1), so I'm not sure what's different for you

The jar that provides this should be downloaded automatically, and 
included on the classpath when the task is defined. Can you check that 
xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar was downloaded to your ooxml-lib directory, and it's a 
valid (non corrupt) jar file - try doing "jar tvf" on it to check it lists 
properly
