Well, keep in mind that Excel and the like are
applications, and what the wizard "does" with the data upon importing (any parsing, casting, etc.) is generally specific to that application.
But
Java is a programming
language. The java.io and java.nio API packages provide basic frameworks for "importing" data, but they can't anticipate the unique
processing that might be required to make the data usable by different applications. That's the programmer's job.
