You don't set your classpath in the System properties.

it's a commandline arg to the VM.

However, the class you are looking for is not in that JAR file -- there are 3 jars to the POI (someone correct me) the class you are looking for is in
poi-3.0-alpha3-20061212.jar

make sure you put that in your classpath and seperate the jars with a ';' if you're on windows or a ':' on unix style systems

Hello Christian,
Thanks for reply, I am getting error "C:\Java\POIExample.java:4: package org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem does
not exist"
I set my class path in System properties - User variables as : CLASSPATH = c:\java\poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar


My Code is:- import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;
