Currently the Orbit project makes available Apache POI 3.9 and I've been using that for a while without problems.
The currently stable version of POI is 3.13 and there have been significant improvements to the library in the last 3+ years. I'd like to use 3.13, but I haven't been able to make it work.
I have been trying to repackage the 3.13 jars using maven. Here is my current maven file (I had to remove namespaces because I have less than 5 messages in this forum...trust me they are there in the actual file 
)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>repackaged.apache-poi-osgi</artifactId>

</plugins>
</build>

<dependency>

</dependencies>
</project>
Most everything else I was able to get from Orbit and other p2 repositories. But when I attempt to use POI within my test class I get the following stack trace:

Anybody have an idea how to get java.xml.stream working in eclipse RCP? Or does anyone have experience getting Apache POI to work in eclipse RCP?
