Hi,

The package org.apache.poi.hwpf is missing from the latest version in 
poi-3.9-20121203.jar

I need to use the classes org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor and 
org.apache.poi.hwpf.HWPFDocument to translate doc files into text files. I 
found them in an older jar file poi-3.0-alpha3.jar but then I still need the 
newest version poi-3.9-20121203.jar because I want also to translate docx files 
into text files, within the same Java application.

So I added both jar files to my NetBeans project. The problem is that they both 
contain the class org.apache.poi.util.IOUtils only that this class in the 
poi-3.0-alpha3.jar is missing the method toByteArray needed for the docx files 
translation. The method toByteArray exists in the other jar file. But if I 
reverse the order of the two jar files, there is a similar problem with a 
method needed by the doc files translation.

So I cannot translate both the doc and the docx files in the same program.

I would appreciate it very much if you can make a new jar file such that there 
is no need for the two jar files.

Thank you!

Monica
