public class POIException extends Exception
Indicates a generic POI exception. This is not commonly used in POI but this is intended to be a base class for some new POI exceptions. Historically, POI has used RuntimeException for most of its exceptions, but this is not a good practice. This class is a checked class that extends Exception so needs to be explicitly caught or declared in the method signature.
Since:
5.5.0
