Will apache poi work with J2Me?

Question

I wish to use apache poi libraries for accessing powerpoint files in a blackberry application I am developing. Adding the jar's as external libraries causes preverification errors. (compiles successfully). My question - Can I use apche poi libraries in a J2ME application? If not is there a version of apche poi available for use with J2ME?

Answer 1

Apache POI will not compile in J2ME since it's written in J2SE. To use in J2ME it needs to be ported.

Apache POI - How to build:

POI 3.5 and later requires the JDK version 1.5 or later. Versions prior to 3.5 require JDK 1.4+
