lokanath60,

Nice bit of code - does it work, or is there a problem we can help you with?

I needed this about three years ago, and fell on my nose, so I'm glad to see your work.

Are you thinking of turning this into an article of some sort?

Cheers,
Oralloy

lokanath60,

Have you considered writing an article on creating and manipulating spreadsheets using Java?

I had a problem about three years ago where I wanted to generate custom spreadsheets based on the content of the Atlassian Crucible tool's database.

Basically, the extension that I put into Crucible was supposed to update one page of a complex spreadsheet based on the comments in the tool.

Since I couldn't reliable manipulate the spreadsheet directly from Java, I ended up building a VBA form in the spreadsheet that interrogated Crucible through its REST interface. The resulting data were then pushed into the spreadsheet using VBA.
