Copy sheet with JXL in Java

Question

I would like to copy a sheet from an existing XLS document to a new one to a new location.
How could I do this with JXL?

Workbook w1 = Workbook.getWork

Just an update, the "copyto" function does not work with a cell, some modified code: This takes a readable workbook, index number of the sheet to be copied, the writable workbook and the index number where the sheet needs to be copied, works fine for copying a sheet from one workbook to another.

private static WritableSheet createSheetCopy(Workbook w, int from, int to,
            WritableWorkbook writeableWorkbook) throws WriteException {
        Sheet sheet = w.getSheet(from);
        WritableSheet newSheet = writeableWorkbook.getSheet(to);
        // Avoid warning
        // "Maximum number of format records exceeded. Using default format."
        Map definedFormats = new HashMap();
        for (int colIdx = 0; colIdx < sheet.getColumns(); colIdx++) {
            newSheet.setColumnView(colIdx, sheet.getColumnView(colIdx));
            for (int rowIdx = 0; rowIdx < sheet.getRows(); rowIdx++) {
                if (colIdx == 0) {
                    newSheet.setRowView(rowIdx, sheet.getRowView(rowIdx));
                }
                Cell readCell = sheet.getCell(colIdx, rowIdx);
                Label label = new Label(colIdx, rowIdx, readCell.getContents());
                CellFormat readFormat = readCell.getCellFormat();
                if (readFormat != null) {
                    if (!definedFormats.containsKey(readFormat)) {
                        definedFormats.put(readFormat, new WritableCellFormat(
                                readFormat));
                    }
                    label.setCellFormat(definedFormats.get(readFormat));
                }
                newSheet.addCell(label);
            }
        }
        return newSheet;
    }
