The Jakarta POI library can read and write XLS files. Its documentation contains plenty of examples.

Hyperlinks are formulas with the syntax:

=HYPERLINK( "target", "label")

You can even link to particular cells in a workbook:

=HYPERLINK( "#'My sheet'!A1", "label")

You may have to use semi-colons between parameters instead of commas, depending on your local settings.
