creating a excel from Swing:
I wrote a program that asks the user to enter some information, does some calculations and tells them what they need to order. I know there is a way I just do not know how to do it. I would like the output from the program which is presented in text fields to be printed onto a form I made in excel when a button is pressed. Is there a link or a few pointers someone could give me?
I am not set on excel, it could be Microsoft word. I just need a form generated.

Start with saving the data to a text file (I guess). Here's the beginning of the Oracle I/O tutorial thread. Excel can read from files in Comma Separated Values or CSV files, so you might read up on that. The Word file format is more complicated, so I'm not sure you mean that to be an option.

Yes I naturally used google but just wanted to see which one some of you are using. I found apache has a framework for this that I will be trying out. I just hate adding frameworks for my Eclipse IDE because it is VERY slow. About 15-20 seconds for run a program every single time.
