This is great! 
I always wondered, why geda tries to reinvent spread sheet wheels
with gattrib.

The keyword "java" makes me frown -- I experienced too many 
incompatibilities with java applications in the past. A scheme
script would make my frown even more, though ;-)

With the gcj packaged in gcj-jdk of debian/wheezy I get a warning:

/-----------------
gattrib_csv.java:559: warning: The field gattrib_csv.DeviceDeff.symbol is never read locally
	String symbol = "";
	       ^^^^^^
1 problem (1 warning)
\----------------

The binary executed fine on one of my schematics. I was able to 
export, change and import attributes.

PS: IMHO, the ability to do this kind of mass edits should be accessible
from the gschem GUI.
