The java jars on https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/poi/5.1.0-RC1/maven/ seem to have been built with Java 14 and do not work with Java 8.
I'm getting this when trying to use poi-ooxml jar: Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/poi/openxml4j/opc/OPCPackage has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 58.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0 One other thing: I've added https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/poi/5.1.0-RC1/maven/org/apache/poi/ to allow this to be more easily used as a maven repo. I left the jars in the original locations too. I can now use this in my maven pom when testing in another project: <repositories> <repository> <id>my-repo1</id> <name>your custom repo</name> <url>https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/poi/5.1.0-RC1/maven</url> </repository> </repositories> On Saturday 4 September 2021, 14:20:09 IST, Dominik Stadler <dominik.stad...@gmx.at> wrote: Hi, When comparing the release files with 5.0.0, I saw the following, not sure which one are on-purpose and which one should be changed: * Files poi-5.1.0.pom.sha256 and poi-5.1.0.pom.sha512 are not included * The jar-files under maven/* do not contain "LICENSE" and "NOTICE" any more under "META-INF" * Jar-file "poi.jar" does not contain class "org.apache.poi.Version" any more * The MANIFEST.MF file previously had fields for "Specification-*" and "Implementation-*" which are now missing * jars for "poi-integration" are not included any more. These are mostly used for mass-regression-testing, which usually works off of locally built binaries anyway, so likely not needed. * the poi-ooxml-lite and poi-ooxml-full packages do not include all the *Factory classes any more Thanks...
