..it moved from POI to Cocoon and now is moving back?
I'll search the mail archives for more info...

point taken.
But what about the util to convert directly into CSV?
Does it exist? e.g. something like:
  HSSFWorkbook workBook = new HSSFWorkbook(excelFile);
  workBook.toCSV();
or does everyone still need to write their own?
Unlike the Gnumeric equivalent I suspect that the code exists already and I keep 
seeing references to 'examples' at OnJava or JavaWorld though I cannot locate them.

Thanks
