The openxml format. I not sure what it's called. Ive got the documentation from the ECMA376 site, and have been doing all night coffee benders trying to learn this stuff.

Im not sure what is meant by the "openxml packaging container". Im in the process of learning java, and I get lost in terminology.

When most people talk about openxml, they actually have in mind one or more of the file formats that use it, eg they want to process an Excel .xlsx file or add a new slide to a PowerPoint .pptx file. For those, you'd use XSSF (or the common SS interfaces) or .xlsx, XSLF for .pptx, and XWPF for .docx, all documented on the website.

If you're interested in the overall container format, i.e. the wrapper zip with the various special xml files for types, relations, properties etc, then the POI component you want is OpenXML4J, see http://poi.apache.org/oxml4j/index.html for a very small bit. For the main examples of working with it, see how things like XSSF or XSLF call into it
