Java tabled output to file

I'm interested in a way of outputting some objects to a table like way the objects. Concrete example would be something like:

-------------------------------------------
|  Name      |     foo     |      bar     |
-------------------------------------------
| asdas      | dsfsd       |1233.23       |
| adasdasd   | fsdfs       |3.23          |
| sdasjd     | knsdfsd     |13.23         |
| lkkkj      | dsfsd       |2343.23       |
-------------------------------------------

Or an ms office / open office excel file.(is there an api doc for this type of outputting data in specific editors? like how to define a table in OpenPffice)?

I'm asking this because I would like to know the best way doing this. PS: there is no need to deserialise.

The easiest is to export to a comma-separated values which you can open in Excel.

You can use the data-exporter library.
