Re: 4.1 -> 5.0 results in enormous increase in dependencies and WAR file size

Thank you for the quick reply. unfortunately I get the following error after adjusting the pom

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.poi.xssf.model.SharedStringsTable

My updated pom has the following for POI (and war file increased about 6MB compared with POI 4.1.2)

<dependency>
			<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
			<artifactId>poi</artifactId>
			<version>5.0.0</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
			<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
			<version>5.0.0</version>
			<exclusions>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
					<artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
				<exclusion>
			    <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
			    <artifactId>batik-all</artifactId>
				</exclusion>
				<exclusion>
