Current POI developers are interested in other areas - like docx and
pptx.
If you would like to develop support for xlsb, please join the dev-
list, if you ask questions you will get help.
There is a common access model being developed for XSSF (xlsx, xlsm)
and HSSF (xls) if you wanted to undertake the heavy lifting I am sure
that we would gladly consider accepting contributions after POI-3.5-
FINAL is released.
See these web pages -

Questions? Developers come over to the dev list.
Regards,
Dave

Hi -
No, and no plans.
It will support XLSX (XSSF) and XLS (HSSF). It looks like
openoffice.org is taking a similar approach and is focused on
importing the XLSX format into their "Calc" document.
If you want XLSB you'll need to have Excel convert an XLSX or XLS
to that format and back.
This is a bit of a shame for people who are using POI to avoid using
Office automation though. Office automation is extremely
inefficient and crash-prone compared to POI's implementation for the
same formats. :-(
