Problem building Tika with the latest POI (3.7)

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest POI(3.7 containing bug fix) from SVN and have a
successful build, but stuck on how to integrate this into Tika.

I hosted a local repository and put new POI jars[1] into their separate
directories according to modified tika-parsers\pom.xml
(<poi.version>3.7</poi.version>) content. I can see that tika-parsers
referred to the wanted local POI when built, but the tests failed[2] in the
end.

Any ideas on how to update the test or ignore the testing procedure as a
workaround?

[1]:
poi-ooxml-schemas-3.7.jar
poi-3.7.jar
poi-ooxml-3.7.jar
poi-scratchpad-3.7.jar

[2]:
Failed tests:
  testExcel(org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.OOXMLParserTest)
  testWord(org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.OOXMLParserTest)
  testPowerPoint(org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.OOXMLParserTest)



Thanks,
