We've been given grief by IBM for an unrelated issue for having these
objects in the directory they are in
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.14-20160307.jar
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.14-20160307.jar

/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/stax-api-1.0.1.jar
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar
It has been recommended that they are left in their appropriate
directories.

Some questions:
1 - Where should I be using instead?
2 - Do I search for these same objects or does Java know to look in the
jar files for the stuff it needs? IOW some newer version of Java may call
the same function but out of file poi....3.25...jar instead of
poi....3.14...jar.
3 - What do others, who use the java stuff to generate excel, do?
I expect some response from someone who uses some other utility to
generate spreadsheets (such as python) but that really doesn't help me
clean up this java. So, yes I am aware of alternatives, but no, instead
of pursuing them I want to clean this up instead.
