Looks like you are missing a few jar's.

http://poi.apache.org/overview.html

You need:

poi-version-yyyymmdd.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-codec.jar
log4j.jar
poi-ooxml-schemas-version-yyyymmdd.jar
xmlbeans.jar
stax-api-1.0.1.jar
dom4j.jar

But... where are those files? I downloaded the version 3.9 it's suposed to be all there, I don't see other links... Do I need the version 3.6 to make it run?

André Schild Over a year ago

They are also included in the 3.9 package (poi-bin-3.9-20121203.tar.gz). You have to unpack it and put the jars in the correct location.

I already did, added the commons-XXX.jar bu still saying class not found... but i see the class inside the package... strange, hate this... thanks anyway

André Schild Over a year ago

Can you list all jars you have in your project ?

mesacuadrada Over a year ago

Maybe the problem is that im testing the app in virtualbox? because i tryed with tika jar, and i got the same Exception, classNotFound... (but i dont have errors while importing)
