Eehm... Ok, I think I made a bad mistake there... You're first guess was really right: Before the PowerPointExtractor came up, I already had poi-2.5.1 working in my project... Somehow I simply forgot to remove it before importing the new version with the extractor. And two different versions of poi a definitely evil... I'm so sorry :-) And thank you very much for the help!
No worries, glad it was that easy to fix!
So now, it works fine with the test files. But are there any limitations of what a ppt file may or must have and what is ignored by the extractor?
I still haven't figured out exactly how slides indicate which blocks of text they want.
With Slides, all the text is stored in one place (SlideListWithText), so powerpoint can give you a list of page titles easily. Each slide then points (via a method I've yet to fully grok) to the bits of text it uses, from within one of the common blocks of text.
With notes, the text is just embeded in the note itself, so life is much easier
So, if you're seeing missing text, then that shows my (rather icky) slide -> text matching isn't working right. If you could upload a problem file to bugzilla, that might provide more illumination in just how the linking works
