GeoServer's already using POI for Excel output. I was only indirectly involved in that module's development but it was written in short order by someone who usually doesn't do Java work so I get the impression POI is pretty nice to work with. http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/branches/2.0.x/src/e

[Geotools-devel] Propose new unsupported module

2010-10-01 Thread Ian Turton
