Files required in java build path.
1. poi-<<version>>.jar
2. poi-ooxml-<<version>>.jar
3. poi-ooxml-schemas-<<version>>.jar

Open the "ooxml-lib" folder present in the extracted "poi-<<version>>.zip" file, set the below jar files in java build path.

8. Extracted "AH-DDF-<<Version>>.zip" contains the "docs", "release notes", "AH-DDF-<<Version>>.jar" and "examples".
9. Set "AH-DDF-<<Version>>.jar" in the java build path.

Working with example program:
10. Copy the "examples" folder present in the extracted "AH-DDF-<<Version>>.zip" file into the "src" folder of Eclipse IDE project.
11. Update the .xls/.xlsx file path in "TestData.java" present at "\src\examples\test\excel\TestData.java"

Execution:
12. Execute the "TestData.java"
> Open the "TestData.java"
> Right click in the eclipse ide(i.e. in "TestData.java")
> Select the menu "Run As" --> "TestNG Test"
> "TestData.java" is executed by "TestNG API" with the help of "TestNG Plugin" configured in Eclipse IDE (Pre-requisite: TestNG Plugin is configured for Eclipse IDE).
