ERROR:

reference to IndexOutOfBoundsException is ambiguous, both class com.sun.star.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException in com.sun.star.lang and class java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException in java.lang match

CODE:

public void insertIntoCell(int CellX, int CellY, String theValue, 
                             XSpreadsheet TT1, 
                             String flag) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {

    XCell oCell = null;
    oCell = TT1.getCellByPosition(CellX, CellY);

    if (flag.equals("V")) {
      oCell.setValue((new Float(theValue)).floatValue());
    } else {
      if (theValue!=null && theValue.length()>0 && theValue.length()!=0) { 
          oCell.setFormula("'"+(String)theValue.toString());
      } else {
          oCell.setFormula((String)theValue.toString());
      }
    }
  }

Fully qualify the exception type.

public void insertIntoCell.. throws com.sun.star.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException {
}

I’m presuming here that you do not intend to throw java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException, which is an unchecked RuntimeException, but I could be wrong.

You can also use a single-type import declaration instead:

import com.sun.star.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException;
//...

public void insertIntoCell.... throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
}

But this can potentially cause a lot more confusion down the pipe.
