Error upgrading to 0.13 using java 1.8

[jaromil]

Not sure if occurring also with Java 1.9, in case documentation should state necessity to upgrade.
The error is:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to find static field: CELL_TYPE_BOOLEAN in interface org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell

Pardon the approximation, I haven't investigated this further (happy 0.12 user).

for me it is working with java 1.8. I had that error during migration of docjure using apache-poi >= 4.0. Could it be you are also using apache-poi as your dependency and this one got an update too?

Otherwise can you provide more informations, so we can check for that issue? Best would be if these information provide a small example project showing that problem.

[jaromil]

OK, will try to document more if necessary. Meanwhile yes I confirm the error occurred migrating also to apache-poi>=4.0 - isn't that supposed to happen? I realise now perhaps version 4 is not supported yet?

[manuelherzog]

apache-poi>= 4.0 is planned but not yet finished. #81
So with one of the next releases we will have apache-poi >= 4.0, but for now we are stuck to < 4.0.
I'm also waiting for it, so i can switch back to the official release instead of mine, because i need 4.0 features in other parts of my app.

I'm seeing a similar CELL_TYPE_BOOLEAN error also, trying to run lein repl with Java 17 (this is on Windows 11, God help me). I'm upgrading from docjure 1.6.0 to 1.19.0 and from Clojure 1.11.0 to 1.12.0.

lein version reports Leiningen 2.11.2 on Java 17.0.12 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM.
