Hi Keith, Simply put, it's because you were accidentally looking in the wrong pom.xml :) There's many of them sprinkled through the DSpace codebase, and they all inherit many of their settings from one main pom.xml.
So, you noticed that the 'dspace-api/pom.xml' file included a dependency for "poi". But, if you look closely, that dependency doesn't list a <version>. This is because, for DSpace, we manage all the versions of dependencies in one parent pom.xml (which is loaded via the <parent> tag within the dspace-aip/pom.xml). Now, take a look at the [dspace-src]/pom.xml. This is the main Parent pom.xml for dspace (with an artifactid of 'dspace-parent') http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/trunk/pom.xml This is the pom.xml which actually lists the versions of every dependency used by the various APIs of DSpace. If you search in this pom.xml, you'll find this entry: <dependency> <groupId>poi</groupId> <artifactId>poi</artifactId> <version>2.5.1-final-20040804</version> </dependency> That's where the 2.5.1 version is sneaking in. If you make your necessary changes to this pom.xml, everything should act as you expect it to. So, just undo your changes in 'dspace-src/dspace-api/pom.xml', and instead make those changes to 'dspace-src/pom.xml' I hope that helps! - Tim On 10/5/2010 2:36 PM, Keith Gilbertson wrote: > Hi, > > I've been experimenting with a Media Filter for text extraction from > PowerPoint files.
