To add dependencies for Excel in a Java project, you need to manage the project’s dependencies through a build tool (such as Maven or Gradle). Here are the steps for adding Excel dependencies using Maven and Gradle:

Using Maven:

  1. Open the pom.xml file of the project.
  2. Add the following dependencies inside the tags:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
    <artifactId>poi</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
    <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.2</version>
</dependency>
  1. Save the pom.xml file, and Maven will automatically download and add these dependencies to the project.

Using Gradle:

  1. Open the build.gradle file of the project.
  2. Add the following dependencies to the dependencies block:
implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi:4.1.2'
implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:4.1.2'
  1. Save the build.gradle file, Gradle will automatically download and add these dependencies to the project.

Once you have completed the steps above, your Java project will be able to use classes and methods related to Excel.
