Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.poi.hslf.record.Slide
	at

I can deliver a one-slide file from ppt 2003 that crashes the lib.
Exact POI version is 3.0 alpha 3.

Comment 2 Nick Burch 2007-05-11 02:59:19 UTC 
Try with 3.0 RC4 (http://people.apache.org/~nick/POI-3.0-RC4/). I think it
should be fixed in there.
Comment 3 Max V 2007-05-11 05:22:31 UTC 
Yes, RC4 solves it!

Btw: consider hosting a proper maven2 snapshot repository, then it is more easy 
to update the dependency - I can help there
Comment 4 Nick Burch 2007-05-11 05:29:52 UTC 
RC4 is just a release candidate, so it doesn't get pushed out to the normal
mirrors. 3.0 FINAL (when released) will be distributed to all the mirrors, and
will end up on ibiblio.
