I am trying to use an Excel spreadsheet with java, I read that Apache POI looks like the best solution regarding my concerns...

I downloaded the latest stable version of POI 3.11 from http://poi.apache.org/download.html

After it, I tried to add it in my Intellij project with two ways :

After that, I tried to import as it is specified in the documentation:

import org.apache.poi

But it does not work, I guess it is because I did not add the library properly.

Take a look at this question [how to add library .jar to intellij](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1051640/correct-way-to-add-lib-jar-to-an-intellij-idea-project) – Sharp Edge Jan 19 '15 at 12:24
I assume that import statement is in fact incomplete and broke upon posting the code? – Gimby Jan 19 '15 at 12:26
You should define "does not work" – Jan 19 '15 at 12:26
@Gimby Yes totally Intellij answers : Cannot resolve symbol 'apache' – Thomas Th. Jan 19 '15 at 12:55
@Sharpedge : Before wrote the question I tried with the post that you posted to me... – Thomas Th. Jan 19 '15 at 12:56
which `.jar` file are you importing ?? Are you sure you're importing the correct `jar` ? – Sharp Edge Jan 19 '15 at 13:00
I recorded all my changes, and reboot the system and now it works... – Thomas Th. Jan 19 '15 at 13:16
Should I close or delete the question ? – Thomas Th. Jan 19 '15 at 13:16
