I probably should have said up front that I had written this expressly because the ostermiller implementation is inaccessible to me due to the GPL license.
> http://www.osjava.org/genjava/multiproject/gj-csv/ I didn't run across that in my search; I'll have to check it out more in depth. One thing I like off the top is being able to read field-by-field; my implementation currently grabs a line at a time, but I can see on a very wide file that this would be necessary. Regardless, is there any interest in placing this in commons? I know my company prefers to minimize the number of sources for tools, and having this in commons would have been helpful for me. If there's interest I'll clean up the code (add apache banner, format according to accepted styles, that sort of thing) and send it out for review and voting. > IO is the first place I'd look for csv handling (though possibly only > because I implement them as Reader/Writer style classes).

They're not exactly reader/writers which is why I named them parser & printer -- just so nobody expected them to be subclasses of java.io.Reader & java.io.Writer.
