The argument of `--main' is the fully-qualified class name.
Try `--main=org.apache.poi.poifs.dev.POIFSViewer'.

Martin> [alik@explorer poic]$ gij POIFSViewer 
Martin> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: loaded class POIFSViewer was in fact named org.apache.poi.poifs.dev.POIFSViewer

Likewise.

This is an important step, but...

Martin> [alik@explorer poic]$ gij org/apache/poi/poifs/dev/POIFSViewer       

You still need the fully-qualified class name.
Use `.' and not `/'.

You should be able to start again now.
