What JAR is that?

I am still getting this error:

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Does Maven use the .classpath file?

How does Maven resolve classpaths?

Apparently the JExcelApi JAR is not actually in your classpath.

Your own package would be spelled with all lower-case letters if you followed the usual convention.
