Gerd,

Most of the time, you should not have to deal with 
FormulaParser directly (Same goes for Workbook).

Most of the time you should be fine with simply using the api
in the 
  org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel  
  org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.contrib
  org.apache.poi.hssf.util
packages.

As far as reading a cell formula is concerned, you may want to
have a look at:

 
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFCell
.html#getCellFormula()

and

 
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFCell
.html#getCellType()


(HSSFCell.getCellFormula() invokes the FormulaParser internally)
