Hi! I want to read ms-excel file in java and I've also downloaded the compressed file containing 'poi' api by Apache( on the site http://jakarta.apache.org/poi) but where actually to unzip it? means in which path?? whether in org.Apache or somewhere else??

A:
I just unpacked it in the same directory as my NetBeans project and created a library as shown here.
Addendum: Download the preferred file from Apache Poi and unzip it in a convenient place such as your project directory. I added poi-3.6-20091214.jar as a new library from my NetBeans project directory.
$ ls -1 build build.xml manifest.mf nbproject poi-3.6 src test test.xls
Building form the command line is straightforward, too.
$ javac \ -cp poi-3.6/poi-3.6-20091214.jar \ -d build/classes \ -sourcepath src \ src/POIExcelReader.java

IUUC, you already have the POI archive file and you've unzipped it. Now just put `poi-3.6-20091214.jar` on the classpath, as suggested above.

Thank you sir!:) I tried to do so but couldn't work! :( Actually, I unzipped it one of my folders(D:\My Documents\Supria\Softwares) and then I tried to set the classpath using 'control panel' on the windows xp as 'D:\My Documents\Supria\Softwares\poi-3.6\poi-3.6-20091214.jar', but then too its not working. What can be the reason? I'm getting error as "package 'org.apache.poi.usermodel' doesn't exist", Can you please suggest?
