you'll need this and replace all references in the source to 
java.util.ArrayList, HashMap, TreeMap, Map, List etc to 
com.sun.collections.ArrayList, etc.  If you're not familiar with them, 
this may be trial and error.

well you'll need to start as src/java and compile the whole tree into 
the package structure that they're in.

(org/apache/poi/bla/bla/bla)

Assuming your just using hssf, you really only need 
org/apache/poi/util/* org/apache/poi/hssf/** org/apache/poi/poifs/**

To be honest, if your fairly new to Java this isn't a task I'd recommend 
taking on by yourself to start with.  It would be a relatively simple 
but tedious task for an experienced Java programmer but this could be 
daunting to someone new to Java.  (I could be wrong but that rarely 
happens ;-) )
