This kinda begs the question "is POI modular enough". I've seen a number of questions arising from people not having the right set of dependent libraries. But having a lighter weight set of libraries would also be useful. Perhaps as the original poster suggested, having a separate library for each type of document would make things easier.
Since I don't tend to build POI I was wondering if it would be difficult to modify the build to produce separate jars and to perhaps zip up the dependencies that people keep neglecting to download?

You can delete them from the directory tree. You'll need a source distro and then you'll need to delete the parts of the directory tree you don't need. It should be clear what is what, you'll focus on keeping XSSF, HSSF, SS, POIFS, OOXML bases classes... You'll then need to do your own build with ant. http://poi.apache.org/howtobuild.html Regards, Dave On May 26, 2011, at 4:58 PM, Jeff G wrote: > Nick, Great tips - thanks for insight.
