https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/929
@jdye64, I am still having trouble with the root `pom.xml` file. The
version number is still `1.0.0-SNAPSHOT` [on line
1006](https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/929/files/474a08eda8497d47468e511e3642766995dad62a#diff-600376dffeb79835ede4a0b285078036).
The commit you referenced above did correct version numbers in the
nifi-poi-bundle project, but not the root NiFi project POM.
How are you testing the build and the build output? I have experienced two
scenarios:
1.) **Clean System** - Build fails at nifi-assembly, because the root
pom.xml specifies nifi-poi-nar 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, which is not in the local Maven
repository:
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project nifi-assembly: Could not
resolve dependencies for project
org.apache.nifi:nifi-assembly:pom:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact
org.apache.nifi:nifi-poi-nar:nar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT in apache.snapshots
(http://repository.apache.org/snapshots)
2.) **Reused System** - Build succeeds because the older
nifi-poi-nar-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.nar still exists in the local Maven repository, but
the output assembly files contain nifi-poi-nar-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.nar.
In neither case do I get the lastest NAR output. Would you please try
deleting the contents of `~/.m2/repository/org/apache/nifi/nifi-poi*` and
running a full `mvn clean install`?

>
> Microsoft Excel is a wildly popular application that businesses rely heavily
> on to store, visualize, and calculate data. Any single company most likely
> has thousands of Excel documents containing data that could be very valuable
> if ingested via NiFi and combined with other datasources. Apache POI is a
> popular 100% Java library for parsing several Microsoft document formats
> including Excel. Apache POI is extremely flexible and can do several things.
> This issue would focus solely on using Apache POI to parse an incoming .xlxs
> document and convert it to CSV. The processor should be capable of limiting
> which excel sheets. CSV seems like the natural choice for outputting each row
> since this feature is already available in Excel and feels very natural to
> most Excel sheet designs.
> This capability should most likely introduce a new "poi" module as I envision
> many more capabilities around parsing Microsoft documents could come from
> this base effort.
