Question

Is there a Java library equivalent to System.IO.Packaging. If so what is the experience of

1. unpacking DOCX files
2. editing DOCX files
3. building DOCX files from scratch.

Answer 1

I'd recommend docx4j which you can find here: http://dev.plutext.org/trac/docx4j It is a library for creating/unpacking/editing docx files and also lets you convert them to html, pdf etc.
