Hi,
we use the poi-Framework on a Linux-Server and it is running fine...
I have to setup my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the point where to find the
libjvm.so#export CLASSPATH=/opt/poi-3.13/poi-3.13-20150929.jar:$CLASSPATH
#export CLASSPATH=/opt/poi-3.13/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.13-20150929.jar:$CLASSPATH
#export CLASSPATH=/opt/poi-3.13/poi-ooxml-3.13-20150929.jar:$CLASSPATH
#export CLASSPATH=/opt/poi-3.13/ooxml-lib/xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar:$CLASSPATH
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.71-2.b15.el7_2.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
