Question

Is there a Java Open source Library for parsing Excel 2007 Files?

Answer 1

Apache POI looks promising.

Answer 2

Apache POI is the pure java answer to the question. 2007 format support is in beta right now.

OpenXLS may support it already (if GPL is fine for you). The commercial version of the same product (ExtenXLS) does support it.

Although not strictly part of the question, I should point out that any rewrite of access to Excel files will always have some deficiency over the original, so Joel Spolsky's advice is a good alternative, if you need it.
