--- Comment #4 from Javen O'Neal <one...@apache.org> ---
This isn't the first time that GAE has had problems with POI [1]. A similar
error occurred in POI 3.6. Unfortunately, the Google Code URL in the answer no
longer works, so here's an archive [2].

> Apache POI
> Version(s)    ?

I imagine you would have got the same restricted class error in POI 3.13 had
your code tried to use a class that relied on a method or object from java.awt.

In order to get GAE compatibility, we'd need to replace nearly every usage of
java.awt in POI [3]. It might also be worth trying to get (portions of)
java.awt.* whitelisted on Google App Engine. Did Google exclude java.awt
because it poses a security risk?
