Finding the right groupId and artifactId for your dependencies is a bit hard but for POI take a look at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/poi/poi/. I used it in a previous project just fine. If the .jar you want to use is not available in any public repo the only option you have is to either import it into your local repo or setup your own repository. -dirk -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.
