<p>How can I read an Open Office 3.0 spreadsheet (.ods) from Groovy?  I'd like to select specific columns from a named worksheet.  Ideally, it would be useful to add a 'where' clause, or other criteria clause.</p>

Might be something here at
Spring Factories
or here at
Groovy and JMX
. There is a forum for
Groovy and Open Office
