Hi,

Currently the Apache POI dependency is in several modules and it's sort of a beast (> 2 MB in size). It appears many of the modules are only using the IOUtils library. The big exception is the office module which is responsible for parsing documents. These methods appear to also exist in commons io which is only ~ 180 KB. Any concerns with replacing this POI stuff with commons-io? Does POI offer anything above the commons-io functionality in IOUtils? If not I think it would be great to isolate the poi dependency to the office module only.
