Hi,

The features you describe here are very nice indeed, but I think that most people would prefer a simple but fully functional CSV reader and writer that would be finished like yesterday, and a future version with hibernate/struts/xsl/EDI/whatever.

I would definitely vote for a quick functional implementation (to be ready in at most one week), and then let the users decide what features they mostly need.

Cheers,
Catalin

I guess CSV commons is a very good suggestion.
This kind of thing is very much required in data staging and processing.
If java needs to work with commercial products to process huge amount of data
then I would suggest to start the initiative on developing something for CSV 
processing.

On initial thought I can think of following feature list.

CSV Read
1. configurable column selection.
2. Hibernate / struts property driven CSV read configuration. (Here I am 
talking about referencing third party xml elements as target references.)
3. xsl driven CSV conversions (CSV to XML, CSV to HTML, CSV to EDI, CSV to *new 
format*)
4. CSVFilter as that for FileFilter
  column range, column width range, row range
