Hi Hans,
I took your block of code and created same worksheet under Ubuntu 10x, opened it with Excel 2010 and got an error: "File
error: data may have been lost."
I have, at this location, several product Excel files which were created on a similar machine, Ubuntu 10.x, that open
fine on same windoz machine. There seems to be a difference between these two laptops which I will investigate. The only
problem: one of them is many miles from my current location so this may take some time. In the meantime, maybe someone
has input to this problem.
Peace,

Well yes, I used different Excel versions (2003 & 2010) and even different
Windowz (XP & 7), always the same :/
I don't think it's an encoding problem, because I create an empty file
(same if I fill some cells) so there are no special characters. Would it
help if I send you the xls?

Would I be correct in assuming that in all cases, one version of MS Excel
has been used to elicit the problem?
Have you, by chance, used another windoz machine and/or another version of
Excel for opening the "suspect" file?
Just a hunch, here...
BTW, what version of Excel are you using?
Peace,

I don't understand it ... changing to java6 didn't solve it. I set up a
new
virtual machine Xubuntu and installed openjdk6 and netbeans from
repository. I changed nothing, I'm only running these lines
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
FileOutputStream fileOut = new
FileOutputStream("/home/**muench/workbook_test.xls");
wb.write(fileOut);
fileOut.close();
}
But opening the xls under Windows with Microsoft Office it shows the same
behaviour ... I don't know how to continue :/

Maybe the java6 and java7 lead to this behaviour? Under Windows I used
java6, I wanted to have an up-to-date-Ubuntu so I installed java7. I will
try to switch to java6 and report here.

No, I used the same version of poi on windows, saved the files and used
it on linux again. Replacing them with fresh downloaded doesn't change
the
situation. When compiling/debugging/creating there is no error, only
opening with Microsoft Office shows this error (about 3 times) and then
the
sheets are shown correctly.

I
don't use a '/' in sheetnames, the same error comes when I only
create a
workbook and save it as xls, without cells or sheets, only the default
sheets.
Are you sure that there are no differences in POI versions? Could there
perhaps be an older version of POI lurking somewhere on your classpath?
(Check the FAQ for how to find them).
I've had no ubuntu-specific POI problems that I can think of lately,
and
I've been using POI on ubuntu for a very long time now!
