You shouldn't pull dependencies from the Sonatype repository, it should just be used as a staging post for getting things to Maven Central (where BIRT 4.3.0 can now be found), but that won't solve your problem.
Unfortunately, despite being an improvement on BIRT 4.2.2 the maven deployment still has a lot of issues* and I recommend using a maven shade project to fix them.
I hope to get a DevShare article up with my Pom.xml to show how to do this later this week.

* Specifically, it doesn't pull in POI itself, but does still contain all the xml beans schema s for POI, which means you can't replace POI with a proper release, which you do want to do.

<p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;">FYI: When pulling this from the Maven central repository I get the same error about a missing POI jar. </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"> </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"> </p><p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;">[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project authorizationmgr-web: Could not resolve dependencies for project espn-esd-scm:authorizationmgr-web:war:1.6.0.0047-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.eclipse.birt.runtime:org.apache.poi:jar:3.9.0.v201303080712 in repo1 (<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/'>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</a>) -> [Help 1]</p>

<p>You will, because that's a hacked version of POI that Eclipse feel they need in order to comply with the EPL.</p><p>That version of POI lacks a few classes necessary for the SXSSF POI functionality - so unless you need to only use EPL code your best bet is to exclude that version of POI and add your own dependency on the proper POI.</p><p> </p><p>Jim</p>

<p>I see. Thanks for info. If you have a recommendation on what POI dependencies to use with BIRT 4.3 that would be great. </p>

Yaytay

<p>The section of pom.xml from Ajinkya, above should do the simplest job, but it can lead to other problems (caused by duplicate copies of xmlbeans schema classes) if you use any POI version other than 3.9 (for which I think it will work).</p><p> </p><p>Jim</p>

<p>I wrote up the approach that I've taken: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/_/deploying-birt-reports/using-birt-430-with-maven-r1483'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/_/deploying-birt-reports/using-birt-430-with-maven-r1483</a></p>
