Hi David,
Here is what I did.
1. I downloaded the source distribution and unzipped it. My directory
structure is
C:\work\poi\poi-3.5-FINAL ( now I have all the files that you had
mentioned including the build.xml)
2. From the C:\work\poi\poi-3.5-FINAL I run the ant compile jar command
The build fails. Here is the log.
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6\lib\tools.jar
Buildfile: build.xml
check-jars:
fetch-jars:
check-ooxml-jars:
fetch-ooxml-jars:
init:
with.clover:
compile-main:
[javac] Compiling 744 source files to
C:\work\poi\poi-3.5-FINAL\build\classes
Any suggestions. Thank you so much for your help.

Yes.

It should be there. Did you download the source distribution (poi-
src-3.5-FINAL-20090928.zip) from http://poi.apache.org/download.html?
Here is what I see in "the top level directory"
