Hi PJ,

thank you for your hard work in this release!

Here is my +1 and those are my 2 cents:

JPMS execution looks good from my side - I've added an instruction to 
http://poi.apache.org/components/slideshow/ppt-wmf-emf-renderer.html
So basically xml-apis-1.4.01.jar needs to be excluded for Java11+ and 
batik-script.jar be modified

build.javacheck.xml seems to be a left-over in the src zip/tgz

Yegor might want to have a look at the OSGi stuff, which can be adapted after 
the release

poi-javadoc-5.1.0.jar doesn't contain legal notices, but this is not a 
redistributable, so it doesn't matter

Not sure if we should tell users not to put poi*javadoc.jar in the same 
directory as the poi*.jar when they use JPMS - basically they shouldn't use the 
maven directory structure as a module-path as this will result in duplicate 
fake class entries

as usual the slow death of the web of trust makes it difficult for anyone who 
hasn't participate in a key signing ceremony to verify the signature ...

https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/poi/


Things to check:
According to Stackoverflow there were some problems with JPMS and XmlBeans -
so maybe check for potential problems there.

Please vote to release the artifacts.
The vote keeps open until November 1, 2021 (23:00 UTC)
Planned release announcement date is November 3, 2021.

Here is my +1

The SVN repo is open again. Can we avoid major changes until this vote succeeds 
or starts getting -1s.

PJ
