new to Java and Eclipse.
My question is how do you setup POI in Eclipse. I downloaded the
POI-2.5.1-Final release from
http://apache.cs.utah.edu/jakarta/poi/release/bin/ . Then I tried adding
the 3 jar files (poi, poi-contrib, poi-scratchpad) to my Eclipse classpath
that I *think* is Window->Preferences->Ant->Runtime->Add External Jars. I
get a warning about tools.jar not being available and when I try using an
import statement, I do not have access to the org.apache.* packages.
I don't know if I need to recompile the jars first, if I'm in the wrong
classpath, if I need more than just poi, or what. I've been chugging at
this for days with no real headway. I have scoured google and cannot find
any good guides/tutorials for this. If anyone could point me in the right
direction I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi, Nate
The place you found to add this jars is related to the Ant build
scripts. You'll probably won't meet them soon as it seems.
The steps you need start with are, first, create java project. And then
in the properties of this project, there is an entry titled Java Build
Path where you can add the dependencies of your application (project).
Probably you need to get familiar with some common concepts among Java
(like classpath) and how the Eclipse is used.
Sorry, if you are already familiar with this and have something
different in mind. I may misunderstood you, so accept my apologies.
Regards,
Danail

Stand-alone. I've found that if I add the jar files to the Java Build
path I can at least access the packages and get started.

Thank you Danail. Yeah I have a lot to learn to say the least. I was
just starting to get frustrated when I've been stumped on this for a few
days.
