Posted by: floater Posted on: 2002-12-09 08:55 Is it possible to embed ms excel to swing? I can't use jtable since I need to use macro in excel within swing. Or is it possible to write java with a hook to excel as an add-on? Apache has POI, but doesn't fit into this. Thanks!

Excel is for the Windows platform only so even if you do so, you loose the platform dependency. But it will be very nice though to have a library that does it. I heard it is very hard to deal with M$ Office documents because its format is kinda chaos.

Yea, I lose platform independency. I hate that too, but the customer wants it.

I know there is some bridge between com and java(commercial one), but I have to experience with it. That's why I posted here to see whether there are some nice tools(like foxtrot) out there.

I heard too that MS format chaos and always laugh at their pity, but now I am cornered, *sigh*.

But thanks anyway.

I used the PIO for writing excel doc before and it uses way too much memory because it has to generate the whole document in the memory before you can write it to the disk (sort of like DOM for xml)

One of the commercial tools I am aware of is Formula One, from http://www.actuate.com/f1/products/espreadengine.asp. And I am sure there are some other commercial tools out there (I remember I saw something else in those Java magazines).

And I totally understand that: you are cornered! Smile
