Pedro,
    just an idea . . . I haven't used this package yet but
Sun's java IDE NetBeans has recently added integration with an open
source package called OpenOffice
OpenOffice is essentially a JAVA version of MicroSoft's Office, but its
free and open source 8-)
It can right EXCEL files as well as its own format:
http://www.openoffice.org/
SUN has supported it as an open source package that helps JAVA itself
become more powerful
Their NetBeans JAVA IDE has a plugin or addon that makes working with
OpenOffice easier
http://www.netbeans.org/community/magazine/html/03/openoffice/
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_NetBeans_Integration
I think its well documented
You can do it with other IDEs I'm sure but it may require a little more
experience with JAVA packages
so it depends on your experience level and how attached you are to a
non-NetBeans IDE
Good Luck with it . . .
I'd like to say I could help more but probably won't be using OPenOffice
for a number of months now
Best
Doug
