Latest POI fixes some import issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Switching from poi-3.6 to poi-3.8beta2 fixes the crash on importing the 
Louisiana elected officials XLS at 
http://www400.sos.louisiana.gov/public/Elected_Officials/ElectedOfficials.xls

I've attached a .classpath diff as an FYI but not the .jars themselves. They're 
from http://poi.apache.org/download.html

I can confirm POI 3.7 (current stable release) also works, altho' presumably 
3.8 stable is imminent...

Thanks to Nick Burch (@gagravarr) for the suggestion.

There should be another 3.8 beta release along shortly (vote is expected next 
week), and 3.8 final is likely to be a month or so (there are two new features 
relating to writing to be finished first). 

If you can, I'd suggest you try with a 3.8 beta - there have been several fixes 
that you may benefit from since 3.7 final, see

I've updated to Apache POI 3.7.  We can update to 3.8 once it's released.

I just checked and POI is now collecting changes for 3.8 beta 6 (!), so there's 
still no stable release available.  I'll continue to check periodically.

The POI team is forecasting the 3.8 release for March or April (ie soon).
