maven - How to upgrade Apache POI version in Alfresco 5.2. project?

Question

I have Alfresco 5.2 project with Apache POI version "3.10.1-20151016-alfresco-patched" and I need to update in up to 5.0.0 version. I have add the section

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
            <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
            <version>5.0.0</version>
        </dependency>

But as I can see the class XWPFTableCell still has an old version: /home/katya3/.m2/repository/org/apache/poi/poi-ooxml/3.10.1-20151016-alfresco-patched/poi-ooxml-3.10.1-20151016-alfresco-patched-sources.jar!/org/apache/poi/xwpf/usermodel/XWPFTableCell.java Also I can not see the required method setWidth (added in 4.0.0) so the version is still old. Please teach me how to upgrade? Thank you!

Answer 1

Current Alfresco supported Poi version is 4.1.2. Use this version and do a maven clean and install, it will work.

<dependency.poi.version>4.1.2</dependency.poi.version>
