Chris, Yes, please do let us know if you're using ant or maven if you're still stuck after checking out David's suggestions. Personally, I would recommend maven (or gradle).
Also, as Gj referenced, if you've got a sample project in Github, bitbucket, or somewhere that we can take a look, more specific help might be offered. I created a project here https://github.com/carljmosca/jxl-demo with the library (using the included demo code) but it seems a bit dated. I don't do much with Office docs/spreadsheets these days but I think the one that David recommended is current. After building it in NetBean, I ran it from the command line like this: java -jar target/jxl-demo-1.0.jar -ps somefile.xls HTH, Carl On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 8:54 AM David Gradwell <da...@gradwell.com> wrote: > Chris , > > > > If your project is a Maven project, look at > https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sourceforge.jexcelapi/jxl/2.6 (or > better still follow the latest version link). > > > > If your project is an Ant project then find the jar and include it in the > project libraries.
