Well I'm writing a program, that has to save some results in some
(editable!) document format. Since it will mostly be tables so some
spreadsheet format would be great.
Do you have any hints concerning choice of format, any free java
classes that would make whole process easier, or have you encountered
such problems and have other advices.
I have considered using ods (open document spreadsheet), because:
1. It is open, and I can download it's reliable spec. - I really don't
want create ods file from scratch, but if it is a must...
2. OpenOffice.org is free, which is important since i write it for a
non-profit organisation - Polish scout association.
3. I could just create csv (comma separated values) and later write a
macro that will do the formatting.
What do uou think of my choice?
But I'm very open to other options.
But keep in mind that implementing/and programs for editing must be
free. Printing support is essential.
And also know that I have a ~20 day deadline so it cant be to complex
solution.
Thanks in advance!.
P.S. I know it is not very java orientated question, but I thing that
no were else I could get pointers to java classes that would come
handy.
P.S. If you really think that is a better group to post this question,
point it - I couldn't find better one.
