Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I am trying to read a .docx file into a JTextPane, but its giving some exception. I am using POI library. What should I do? Help me out, please. Here is my code:

file = new File(
    "C:\\Users\\Siddique Ansari\\Documents\\CV Parser\\Siddique_Resume.docx");
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(file.getAbsolutePath());
XWPFDocument document=new XWPFDocument(fis);// line no 549
extractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(document);
String fileData = extractor.getText();
Document doc = jTextPane1.getDocument();      
System.out.println(fileData);
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), fileData, null);

And this is the Exception:

It would appear that you need XMLBeans. This may be a requirement of a sub project. Apache POI has a Maven entry. You could load it and allow Maven to sort out it all out — MadProgrammer

I have added piccolo, oldxbean , n saxon9 .. but no change.. same Exception Since none of those libraries contain the missing class, it won't solve your problem. You need to add XMLBeans libraries to your classpath in order to solve your problem. — Guillaume Polet

In addition to the apache-poi JAR files, for example,

  1869113  11-26-12 17:22   poi-3.9/poi-3.9-20121203.jar
   936648  11-26-12 17:22   poi-3.9/poi-ooxml-3.9-20121203.jar
  4802621  11-26-12 17:22   poi-3.9/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9-20121203.jar

You'll also need the JAR files from ooxml-lib in your classpath:

   313898  04-05-09 14:28   poi-3.9/ooxml-lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar
    26514  02-23-11 12:31   poi-3.9/ooxml-lib/stax-api-1.0.1.jar
  2666695  04-05-09 14:29   poi-3.9/ooxml-lib/xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
