Hi,

WorkbookFactory is broken in 3.7, although apidocs is still having the class in org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel (so api was not generated from the code!) 

Removing of the class breaks backward-compatibility in respect to the format-independent way of reading either HSSF or XSSF (when it is not known - which format user will provide in xls: 2003 or 2007+).

Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(inputStream);
//treat workbook in independent way

thanks

It is in poi-ooxml:

./ooxml/java/org/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/WorkbookFactory.java

Please check your classpaths

Regards,
Dave
