Too many methods error

Too many methods error

Apparently I have too many apache poi jars which return too many methods
and go above the limit when I try to read and write an xlsx file. Below is
the error I get
trouble writing output: Too many methods: 66024; max is 65536. By package:
13 java.lang
1 java.lang.reflect
5 java.util
1 javax.xml.namespace
66 org.apache.xmlbeans
19 org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values
1 org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.xb.xmlschema
2500 org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.chart
1430 org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.chart.impl
8767 org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.main
5258 org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.main.impl
86 org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.picture
33 org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.picture.impl
Is there a way around this? I don't want to delete any libraries and yet
my project is not compiling. Please help.
