I have a small Eclipse Java project which includes the XML export repair
and demonstrates how the repaired XML can be transformed through a series
of steps into a suitable XSL:FO format which can be converted to PDF,
Postscript or some document format (RTF, DOCX, ODT, WML) using either
Apache FOP or XMLmind FC (XFC). How do share this code? Do I have to be a
comitter on the project?
Alternatively post me an email or some otjher localtion I can post/send it
to...
Would be cool to see someone take my efforts a step further!
I have previously been looking into OAW and their EMF toolkit.
I think you could leverage the OAW framework to automate importing
documentation written in Microsoft Word. I imagine you could setup a
folder structure with the word documents saved as (filtered) htm,
including their resources (pictures) and a small metadata file (xml) for
each folder.
Then traverse the whole folder structure and generate the appropriate XMI
model, upload the images into the /ressources folder of the plugin and
reconfigure the internal img hrefs to point to the images in the
/ressources folder. I also noticed, that the Express Word to HTML
converter ignores a lot of special characters if they have not been
properly ecaped (such as danish character æ,ø,å). All the .htm files
should therefore be properly HTML encoded before they are converted.

Hi there,
I have successfully created a small Java/Groovy framework using XSLT and
apache FOP and XFC (from Xmlmind.com), that transforms the EPF XML export
to one or more PDFs.
* PDF representing the default view (could be changed to create for all or
a particular view)
* PDF representing each of the major categories of MethodElement, fx a PDF
with all the Tool and ToolMentors (with internal PDF links!)
One could "easily" extend or customize this framework.
I have since then discovered the xsmall framework
https://smallx.dev.java.net/
I'm now in the process of rewriting my "patchwork" framework to something
more usable!
I have also been working on automating the import of content written in
Word, using "save as html". I first took the path of trying to generate
linked .xmi files, but now I am taking the path of generating a single XML
file that follows the EPF XML Schema, to be imported using EPF "import
from XML".
Both methods could potentially work, and each have its own strenghts...
Since I'm as of yet not a committer, I'm not sure where to post any
finished "product". Any ideas?

Kristian,
If your code is compliant with the EPL and you are agree to it, then you
can just open a bugzilla and attach your implementation to it for the
EPF team to review it and potentially incorporate it into the next release.

Cheers!
