Hi all,
* What did you get done this week?
In order to implement the Excel data provider for gvSIG I will use as a
basis a Java library that provides access to Excel data.
I considered the following alternatives:
- POI-HSSF and POI-XSSF - Java API To Access Microsoft Excel Format Files
- SmartXLS for Java
- Java Excel API
I finally decided to go for the last one as it is powerful enough and it
looks quite simple. It seems that this project doesn't have activity
since 2010 but I hope this is not a problem.
Those are the most relevant links of this library:
- http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/jexcelapi/?source=navbar
-
http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|net.sourceforge.jexcelapi|jxl|2.6.12|jar
I've got a project within the gvSIG project infrastructure:
- https://devel.gvsig.org/redmine/projects/gvsig-jexcel
The source code will be stored at:
- https://devel.gvsig.org/svn/gvsig-jexcel
* What do you plan on doing next week?
I plan to create the Maven projects infrastructure. I will use as a
basis the following gvSIG projects:
- gvSIG data provider for DGN
https://devel.gvsig.org/redmine/projects/gvsig-dgn
- gvSIG data provider for DXF
https://devel.gvsig.org/redmine/projects/gvsig-dxf
I also will use the gvSIG CVS data provider to compose the project skeleton.
* Are you blocked on anything?
Not, so far. :)
Best,
Manuel.
