The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I simply created a directory on /root called poi and placed them all in the directory & it has been there for years & I have had no issues.

Subject: Java extensions directory vs Excel generation
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/cellutil.jar
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/dom4j-1.6.1.jar

/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/poi 3.10.1 backup /QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/ooxml-schemas-1.3.jar
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/poi-3.10.1 - current
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/poi3.14 new testing /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.
