The bigger question is; can POI be compiled in j2me environment?. Last time I tried, I could not achieve that.
Not without some porting it won't. poi trunk (3.1, impending 3.2) compiles for java 1.4, and probably also java 1.3. JavaME is more like java 1.1, and lacks some key core classes
To port it, you'd probably want to use something like commons me[1] as a base, add in some more helpers / implementations to commons me, change the reflection based code to be non reflection (javaME doesn't support reflection, which is quite pesky), and possibly ditch some features
If you're interested in doing this, it will be quite a bit bit of work, but potentially quite useful. It's certainly something I'd be keen to have in poi, as a separate branch (but alas not something I'd have time to work on beyond giving advice). commons me is a pet project of mine, so do drop by the commons list if you're interested in helping extend it.
