I have a testing package which uses an Excel spreadsheet to manage the Tests. It's written in Java and parses the Spreadsheet, then executes the tests. It runs on Windows and Linux, however currently if a test fails you can't see the info in the Spreadsheet without going back to Windows. Does anyone know of a way to view ( and possibly edit ) Excel 2003 Spreadsheets from within Linux using xwindows or possibly a browser plugin.

It's called OpenOffice or Google Docs.

There are a bunch of tool you could use. Open office is a very popular bet but there is also the koffice suite.

Open office, http://www.openoffice.org/, is available for GNU/Linux and can view and edit MS Excel files.

Open office would be the most recommended application. And the best part of it all, it's free :)

don't forget gnumeric: it's a lot lighter that openoffice.

if you feel like writing code yourself, I would recommend you the python xlrd module.
