This issue occurs due to a dependency conflict: both apache-poi and another library in your project bring in transitive dependencies on commons-compress, but each requires a different version.
As a result, the version of commons-compress that gets resolved at runtime may not be compatible with all the libraries, leading to errors like:
There are two ways to fix this issue.
✅ Option 1: Exclude the conflicting dependency Exclude the unwanted version from a specific dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>some.group</groupId>
<artifactId>some-artifact</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-compress</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
✅ Option 2: Force a specific version using dependencyManagement Use this when you want to enforce a version globally across all dependencies:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-compress</artifactId>
<version>1.21</version> <!-- or latest compatible version -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
