title: Maven and POI how to understand better the file Excel in Java
body: <p>I'm trying to move the first steps in Apache POI following this link:
  <a href="https://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/quick-guide.html#NewWorkbook" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a></p>
  
  <p>I've found very difficult to understand how must put the code and the packages to import in Eclipse with Maven. If I try to copy the code <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/examples/HSSFReadWrite.java" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> I obtain a sequence of errors caused by, for exemple, import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell; Deleting that, I get in any case problem with the code.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know any linear guide to reach the same purpose? I need, at the end, to be able to getting cell contents, obviously in a excel file.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help.</p>
