XSSFWorkBook is not in poi-3.6.jar

[Bjoern Thalheim <bj...@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I would like to use XSSFWorkBook.
All documentation says, I should just use:
    WorkBook wb = new XSSFWorkBook(InputStream).

My problem is: The class XSSFWorkbook is not contained in the JAR which I get when I fetch version 3.6 of POI with maven by using:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
      <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
      <version>3.6</version>
    </dependency>
It is contained in the source distribution, though.

How come this class is not packed into the binary distribution of version 3.6 of POI? Is it a build error. Was there a change and documentation has just not caught up on that change?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Björn

The maven artifact ids are documented on http://poi.apache.org/overview.html

Suggestions for improvements to the documentation are welcome.

BTW - We offer the split because many users of POI were only  
interested in the binary format and the full ooxml distribution is  
much larger. The split between poi and poi-scratchpad is to  
accommodate people who are only interested in Excel which is the most  
mature part of the project.

Perhaps we should consider a maven artifact called poi-all that gives  
the maven user all of poi with poi-ooxml-schemas? Such a contribution  
would be welcome. The maven artifact scripts are in the build, these  
were recently done by Yegor for POI 3.6 release.

Regards,
Dave

That's because you didn't include all the POI artificats. If you want to 
use XSSF, make sure you also include poi-ooxml, and one of the ooxml 
schema artificats (either full or poi-ooxml-schemas for the common bits)
