opencsv

Best project I have ever seen! Perfect for my needs!

Nice little library, but I really wish quotes weren't mandatory in the writer. Until that's resolved I just can't use this. The Javadoc is a bit confusing, I guess it is out of sync with the current release, since it shows boolean flags to address that in writeNext() which don't appear to be available in the current release (2.3 I think). I'd also prefer a CSVWriter constructor argument flag to disable quotes for all calls to writeNext() rather than having to specify the preference on every write. IMO the "typical" case would not require quotes for every single value. Another nice thing (haven't thought about how it'd be implemented) would be a way to specify an auto-quote preference on specific columns. I will check the repo to see if there's a newer version which addresses some of this, but until some of these are addressed in the convenient release download I'm afraid I have to give this a "- 1/2" rounded down to -1. Will update with a new review if the quote issue gets fixed...
