The POI team is pleased to announce the availability of Apache POI 3.5 beta6, our latest beta including OOXML (Office
Open XML) support.
Apache POI is well-known in the Java field as a library for reading and
writing Microsoft Office file formats, such as Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and
Word. With POI 3.5, it supports the new OOXML (Office Open XML) formats
introduced in Office 2007. See http://poi.apache.org/ for more details

or to the
poi-dev mailing list.
