title: Import Apache POI in Intellij for JAVA
body: <p>I am trying to use an Excel spreadsheet with java, I read that Apache POI looks like the best solution regarding my concerns... </p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the latest stable version of POI 3.11 from <a href="http://poi.apache.org/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://poi.apache.org/download.html</a></p>
  
  <p>After it, I tried to add it in my Intellij project with two ways : </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>File - Project Structure - Modules - Dependencies - add - POI</li>
  <li>File - Project Structure - Libraries - add - POI</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After that, I tried to import as it is specified in the documentation: </p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.apache.poi
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it does not work, I guess it is because I did not add the library properly. </p>
