That is my understanding.
Besides, even if they _do_ remove the bridge, it is still not that
rough to call Java from C. There is some overhead to spinning up a
JVM, but for a long operation like pulling in an excel file, I would
not worry about it.
Frankly, the time you save not having to parse that evil file format
yourself may well give you enough resources to profile out any real
performance problems.
Is there anything official saying that they are removing the
existing framework? If not, then Java is perfectly viable for this
type of work. Just write that portion in java and access it via
Objective-C.
I have done this in the past, and it worked well.
After all, there is some very high quality Java code out there to
talk to databases, push messages on a JMS queue, grab info from a
running web server, etc. Why bother reinventing it, if it already
exists and works?

Its in Java, but you could probably spin it off as a process and
use it that way.
Its too bad the java bridge is going away... anyways, its been
improving steadily.
Hi,
is their any existing framework to extract Powerpoint and Excel
file text?
