My apology, there was an earlier poi jar sitting in lib\ext that was the problem.
All good now.

Maven should automatically download the POI 3.0-FINAL jar when you do the build. I have the following after building Tika 0.1 with an empty local repository: $ md5sum ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/poi/poi/3.0-FINAL/poi-3.0-FINAL.jar 9b2651dbc187f57c48ad06f85a0a38ce [...] Do you have some repository proxy configured? PS. Note that the svn trunk of Tika has been much improved since the 0.1 release. We're hoping to have a 0.2 release out soon. BR, Jukka Zitting
