Hi, Now it worked fine :D So, at the moment I end up using the 3.15-beta2 - the latest available in Maven Repository - removed the poi-ooxml-schemas and added ooxml-schemas-1.3.jar as recommend in the FAQ you sent and everything worked fine.
Thanks for all of your help Dominik. > On 25 Aug 2016, at 10:51, Dominik Stadler <dominik.stad...@gmx.at> wrote: > > Hi, > > That sounds like you still have some old jars in use in your project, can > you check?
