Description Marc Jakobi 2020-12-08 16:49:42 UTC 
As of version 4.1.2, the poi and poi-ooxml JARs (and possibly others) do not have an Automatic-Module-Name attribute in the MANIFEST.MF, making their use in modular Java 9+ applications unstable.

I suggest adding attributes using the reverse-DNS naming convention.
Comment 1 PJ Fanning 2020-12-08 17:15:11 UTC 
This work is already under way (5.0.0 release)
