• Kotlin and Azure Functions - Automating the deployment

  Recently I needed to write an Azure Function app that uses the Apache POI library for getting the text from Microsoft Word 94 documents (and yes, I am fully aware that the year is currently 2024, but some people still have 30 year old documents kicking around!). - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How can I add the Apache POI Library in Eclipse - for Selenium Webdriver project?

  I need to add the apache poi to my project (I need hssf, ss and xssf). I downloaded a jar file from the internet but it does not contain xssf. I went to http://poi.apache.org/ and I downloaded this: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/release/src/poi-src-3.9-20121203.zip, I extract it..and got stucked. I tried Part 1 but that was only for JavaDoc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Office files processing

  - Using Ports to call CLIs that take care of this (e.g. Poppler for PDFs, Libreoffice in `--headless` mode) - Use jInterface to startup a JVM with Apache POI to work on this specific workflow (I have an example here to work with Java Image API). You can also do this with other languages (Golang , Python and other). Source: over 1 year ago

• What’s the most ridiculous, unrealistic project you’ve had to work on?

  Java may be boring to work with, but its power, maturity and ecosystem is unparalleled. I don't remember the PDF library (there are many), but Office stuff used Apache POI. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to Get the Version of Any Java Package from CFML

  The Apache POI library is an awesome tool for messing with spreadsheets. You can read spreadsheet data, get header rows, total row count, all sorts of wacky stuff. Julian Halliwell's excellent spreadsheet-cfml library uses it to great effect. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
