The following has been my newbie approach to getting started with POI:
(1) Downloaded the binary distro, placed it under the folder where I
keep all my Java libraries.
(2) Downloaded the source distro, used the *.java files provided (Loan
Calculator, Calendar, etc.) to build the example projects.
I am being partial to NetBeans these days, and when I add a library to
my project, in addition to the Classpath I get two tabs for extra useful
support: Sources and Javadoc.
The Javadoc wants a JAR file, but all I found were HTML (and PDF) files.
If I switched to Eclipse, would those two features work more readily?

Dear Self,
This is the partial solution for POI+NetBeans
(1) Support for libraries.
Level of difficulty: Easy.
The libraries already come in JARs. Just point to them.
(2) Support for Javadoc.
Level of difficulty: Intermediate.
I compressed the folder named "docs" and renamed it from "docs.zip" to
"docs.jar". Point to it. Works like a charm.
(3) Support for Sources.
Level of difficulty: Hard
I tried pointing to some (which one?) of the many folders where the
source code is contained, at different depth levels. No luck.
