I want to use Apache POI in my .NET application, I know there is a port NPOI but it's not complete and don't have PowerPoint related functionality.
I've tried to IKVM it by using the following command:
ikvmc -target:library poi-3.8.jar poi-ooxml-3.8.jar poi-ooxml-schemas-3.8.jar poi-excelant-3.8.jar poi-scratchpad-3.8.jar
but when after using the classes in resulting dll I've executed the application, got this error:
The type initializer for 'org.apache.poi.xslf.usermodel.XMLSlideShow' threw an exception.
can someone direct me to the link where I can download IKVMed Apache POI, Googled it but didn't have much luck as of now.
I just finished the project where I have successfully converted POI 3.9 using IKVM.
Prerequisites:
- Download POI 3.9 and copy all the JAR files into one directory
- Download IKVM (I used version 0.46.0.1)
The following commands (run in Windows 7 command line in the same directory where all the POI JARs are) did the trick for me:
ikvmc -target:library xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
ikvmc -target:library stax-api-1.0.1.jar
ikvmc poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9-20121203.jar -target:library -reference:xmlbeans-2.3.0.dll -reference:stax-api-1.0.1.dll
ikvmc -target:library log4j-1.2.13.jar
ikvmc -target:library commons-logging-1.1.jar
ikvmc -target:library commons-codec-1.5.jar
ikvmc poi-3.9-20121203.jar -target:library -reference:log4j-1.2.13.dll -reference:commons-logging-1.1.dll -reference:commons-codec-1.5.dll
ikvmc -target:library dom4j-1.6.1.jar
ikvmc poi-ooxml-3.9-20121203.jar -target:library -reference:poi-3.9-20121203.dll -reference:poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9-20121203.dll -reference:dom4j-1.6.1.dll -reference:xmlbeans-2.3.0.dll
Hope it helps.
