Obba provides a bridge from Excel sheets to Java classes. With Obba, you can easily build Excel GUIs to Java code.
Its main features are:
- Loading of arbitrary jar or class files at runtime through an Excel worksheet function.
- Instantiation of Java objects, storing the object reference under a given object label.
- Invocation of methods on objects referenced by their object handle, storing the handle to the result under a given object label.
- Asynchronous method invocation and tools for synchronization, turning your spreadsheet into a multi-threaded calculation tool.
- Serialization and de-serialization (save Serializable objects to a file, restore them any time later).
- All this though spreadsheet functions, without any additional line of code (no VBA needed, no additional Java code needed).
For a more detailed introduction see the
Obba documentation on the
Obba homepage.
