I can't answer if you should use jxl INSTEAD of poi.
We use poi for the read AND write of excel files, so it's a good choice for us.

We use jxl only to add images to the xls file, and it has
never failed at this task. It even generated 185MB xls files with ~8000 pictures
in it with no problem. (Ok, it took some time to generate, but it did work)


I think, if you need images in you xls file and jxl covers your needs,
then go for it, no need to involve two systems if one covers your needs.
