title: Generating PPT using Apache POI in Grails application
body: <p>I am trying to add apache poi into my grails web application to generate PPT. I dont seem to get the application to compile and I always see the following error. </p>
  
  <p><code>Resolve error obtaining dependencies: Could not find artifact org.apache.poi:poi:zip:3.14 in grailsCentral</code></p>
  
  <p>This error is seen only when I include the following line under plugin section of BuildConfig.groovy.</p>
  
  <p><code>compile "org.apache.poi:poi:3.14"</code></p>
  
  <p>I have included POI jar (as shown below) in the dependency section of BuildConfig and it does not barf at this point. </p>
  
  <p><code>compile org.apache.poi:poi:3.14</code></p>
  
  <p>Please note that I have added the following to the repository section of BuildConfig too. </p>
  
  <p><code>mavenRepo "https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi"</code></p>
  
  <p>The classes I am trying to import are in the POI jar that I am adding as dependency in my project. However there's an eclipse marker at the line of the import. </p>
  
  <p>What am I missing? Can someone let me know please?</p>
