antiword isn't very good. I use wvWare (http://wvware.sourceforge.net/) directly, but you may find that using abiword is better for you (abiword is an editor, but it also does conversions and actually it's quite fast for that). It also deals with fast-saved word docs.

We used to use POI, but it's a little fragile and people were getting all upset when a word document gummed up the works. Using an external executable seems to be no slower and is certainly less problematic.
