Reading Massive Excel Files to csv

Hello,

I am trying to read a large Excel spreadsheet (60,000 rows) but I get what
appears to be a memory leak error from the JVM when I use the *XSSFWorkbook
*API.  I learned recently that there are size limitations on Excel files
being read in this way and the Apache POI website specifically recommends
reading the file in a streaming fashion instead of taking the whole file in
memory.  To do this, POI recommends using something called *XLSX2CSV* but
the provided link to teach how to use this returns a "page not found error."

Would someone please point me in the direction of how to handle reading my
big Excel file?

The Apache POI URL that contains the link to *XLSX2CSV* is:

http://poi.apache.org/components/spreadsheet/limitations.html

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
