Guys/Gals

I want to write a program that is able to import data from an excel file and it can update the current mysql table. My question is how can add the import /update feature?

one other thing is that I want to do this in swing.

Thanks

The common libraries for working with Excel files are Apache POI (for both XLS and XLSX) and jExcelApi (XLS only). I generally advise to use POI; even the beta versions of upcoming releases are quite stable.

In this case the obvious Google keywords ("apache poi") lead you directly to its home page.

You need the binary (not source) version of POI 3.5 beta. The 3.2 version does not have the XSSF stuff.
