1) JXL is now JExcel.

2) You can get all list of differences between JExcel and Apache POI here

3) Both are free.

4)You should use Apache POI because JExcel does not support .xlsx format.

Difference between JXL and POI is that Java JXL does not support the Excel 2007+ ".xlsx" format; it only supports ".xls" format. Apache POI supports both with a common design.
