How to use buckminster to add an external jar library for IDempiere

[Kevin Yang]

Hi Community,

As I looked into "/targetPlatform", I found that there are so many JARs in "/targetPlatform/plugins", Such as org.apache.poi_3.7.0.jar, org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v201101211617.jar, etc.

I know they were downloaded when I installed IDempiere though Buckminster. 

Currently, I need to include org.apache.poi.ooxml(poi-ooxml) to parse Excel 2007, But this time I don't want to add an new project and export the APIs. I want to try the way as include POI though Buckminster.

After I looked into  adempiere.cquery and adempiere.rmap, I have tried to add

<cq:advisorNode namePattern="^org\.apache\.poi\.ooxml$" componentType="osgi.bundle" versionOverride="[3.7.0,4.0.0)"/>  in adempiere.cquery, 

<rm:locator pattern="^org\.apache\.poi\.ooxml$" searchPathRef="workspace.bundle.jar"/> in adempiere.rmap.

All this two are added before the original POI's. And then I clicked "Resolved and materialize", but the poi-ooxml is still not appear.

I am new with Buckminster. Would you please give me some suggestions if you know how to do it? 

Thank you very much to view my topic.

Best Regards,

Kevin

I have down load the poi-ooxml from https://www.versioneye.com/java/org.apache.servicemix.bundles:org.apache.servicemix.bundles.poi/3.9_2, And I copy it to the targetPlatform, It can work. but there is still some dependencies required list as below

Current	Required
1.9	1.5	commons-codec : commons-codec
3.9	3.9	org.apache.poi : poi-ooxml-schemas
2.6.0	2.3.0	org.apache.xmlbeans : xmlbeans
1.0.1	1.0.1	stax : stax-api
1.6.1	1.6.1	dom4j : dom4j
2.0.2	1.0.b2	xml-apis : xml-apis

commons-codec is existing in ID with version 1.3.0. lower than the required version 1.5. How can I handle this conflict? Can I update commons-codec's version from 1.3 to 1.9? Or Can I manage them with buckminster?
