<p>
POI 3.5 and later requires the JDK version 1.5 or later.
Versions prior to 3.5 require JDK 1.4+

<section>
<title>Installing Ant</title>
<p>
The POI build system requires two components to perform a
build.
<link href="ext:ant.apache.org/">Ant</link> and
<link href="ext:xml.apache.org/forrest">Forrest</link>.
</p>
<p>
Specifically the build has been tested to work with Ant version
1.7.1 and Forrest 0.5. To install these products download
the distributions and follow the instructions in their
documentation. Make sure you don't forget to set the
environment variables FORREST_HOME and ANT_HOME. The
ANT_HOME/bin directory should be in the path.
</p>
<p>
One these products are installed you will also need to
download some extra jar files required by the build.
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Library</th>
<th>Location</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>junit</td>
<td>http://www.junit.org</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
Just pick the latest versions of these jars and place
them in ANT_HOME/lib and make sure that optional.jar is
in ANT_HOME/lib .
