Just so you know.
I created an ant task called xls2xml. It is available from http://www.geocities.com/xls2xml.
Its intention is to be able read excel sheets and convert the data it contains into one or more xml file(s). Which might be useful if your client only knows MS Excel and you don't want to manually extract data from these files.
It is a very simple and crude task at the moment - it works only with simple data. E.g. dates are currently not correctly converted. The sources could also use a cleanup.
However, it might still be useful to some of us.
Unless somebody tells me how I can better convert excel sheets into xml through Ant, I intend to remain working on it (lots of to-do's on my list ...).
However, as I have other interests as well, I also intend to work on and lobby for this task to become part of the optional tasks of ant, so others can have a go at this as well. The other main reason for this to happen, is that the xls2xml task is based on POI, another apache project, and I guess apache projects should make some PR for each other, shouldn't they ?.
