I can not find for the source code repository for poi-ooxml-schemas

Question

Alright, this is a little bit wierd. I've checkout apache-poi version 3.9 source code from http://archive.apache.org/dist/poi/release/src/ But I can not find the source code for poi-xml-schemas. I have been googling but to no avail. Where is the code repository for these project? Is it a separate project from the poi source code or it is from some other project used as a library, but where is the code repository?

Answer 1

This is covered in the Apache POI FAQ (#14), from which I quote:

14. I can't seem to find the source for the OOXML CT.. classes, where do they come from?

The OOXML support in Apache POI is built on top of the file format XML Schemas, as compiled into Java using XMLBeans. Currently, the compilation is done with XMLBeans 2.3, for maximum compatibility with installations. (You can use the resulting classes on the XMLBeans 2.3 runtime, or any later version of XMLBeans. If you are currently using XMLBeans 2.2 or earlier, you will unfortunately have to upgrade, but this isn't common any more).

All of the org.openxmlformats.schemas.spreadsheetml.x2006 CT... classes are auto-generated by XMLBeans. The resulting generated Java goes in the ooxml-schemas-src jar, and the compiled version into the ooxml-schemas jar.

The full ooxml-schemas jar is distributed with Apache POI, along with the cut-down poi-ooxml-schemas jar containing just the common parts. The source jar isn't normally distributed with POI. It is, however, available from Maven Central - ask your favourite Maven mirror for the ooxml-schemas-src jar. Alternately, if you download the POI source distribution (or checkout from SVN) and build, Ant will automatically download the specification XML Schema, and compile it for you to generate the source and binary ooxml-schemas jars.

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/poi/ooxml-schemas/1.0/

has the ooxml schema ----- CTArray jar files.
