I just discovered the Apache POI Project. I needed to export data from a JTable into an Excel spreadsheet and I didn’t want the hassle of exporting as csv and getting warnings from Excel, so a little search gave me POI, and it is simple and easy to use.
Download it and read the documentation that comes with the download (it seems to be a little more updated than the website). Plenty of examples.

Looks like there are strengths to functional and imperitive programming, so would Scala, or a language like it, be the best of both worlds?

I am looking into declarative programming languages. More specifically I am looking into the functional language Haskell; The concept of functional programming intrigues me. I want to know why/how it is helpful and what I can do with it. In this process, I am also learning about more about imperative languages, so I win all around.
