i would like to compile a tool called "textmining" (http://www.textmining.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=2) this tool use POI to read ms-word-files. so i emerged "dev-java/poi" (i try with 2.5.1-r2 and 2.5.1) ... but if i compile the tool then "org.apache.poi.hwpf.*" is missing: ./org/textmining/text/extraction/WordExtractor.java:19: package org.apache.poi.hwpf.model does not exist import org.apache.poi.hwpf.model.*; ^ ./org/textmining/text/extraction/Word6Extractor.java:19: package org.apache.poi.hwpf.model does not exist import org.apache.poi.hwpf.model.*; ^ .... echo $CLASSPATH .:/usr/share/poi/lib/poi-contrib.jar:/usr/share/poi/lib/poi.jar:/usr/share/commons-lang/lib/commons-lang.jar:/usr/share/poi/lib/poi-scratchpad.jar if i collect all files from classpath: perl -e 'foreach ( split (/:/, $ENV{CLASSPATH}) ) { next if ( $_ eq "." ); system("jar", "-tvf", $_) }' > /tmp/classpath_content.txt then there is no "hwpf". why?

See http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hwpf/index.html betelgeuse@pena ~/foo $ tar -tf poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804.tar.gz | grep hwpf tar: A lone zero block at 63771 It is a new feature will be in an official release some day. Feel free to file a version bump request for 3.0-alpha1, but we have more pressing priorities than adding every alpha release. Testing/writing an ebuild for it yourself will speedup things. Closing this as INVALID.
