How can I access spreadsheets in the open document format (.ods) with java?

Question

I want to read, write and create Spreadsheets in the Open Document Format with Java. And I want the resulting Java-program running on a computer without OpenOffice.org or other ODS-capable programs installed. Exists a library to access this format?
