To import the POI package, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Download the POI library file: First, download the latest version of Apache POI from the official website (https://poi.apache.org/). On the download page, locate the “Binary Distribution” section, and click to download the POI binary distribution file that corresponds to your Eclipse version.
  2. Unzip the POI library file: Extract the downloaded POI binary distribution file to the location where you want to store the POI library.
  3. To create a Java project in Eclipse, open Eclipse, click on “File” -> “New” -> “Java Project”, enter the project name, and click “Finish” to create a new project.
  4. To add the POI library to the project: In Eclipse, right click on the project name, select “Properties” -> “Java Build Path” -> “Libraries” -> “Add External JARS”, browse to the extracted POI library folder, select all JAR files, and click “Open” to import them.
  5. Confirm importing the POI library: In the “Java Build Path” dialog of Eclipse, you should see that the JAR file of the POI library has been added to the project’s “Libraries” list.

Now that you have successfully imported the POI package, you can now use its functionality in your Java project.
