[ANN] odt2apt maven plugin
Hello,
I recently used the maven site plugin for the first time, and really liked it. I however came to dislike the APT format rather quickly. I spent far too much time manually reformatting my paragraphs to make the source readable. I felt that it would be very nice to be able to document in Open Office and still be able to generate a site and a PDF with maven-pdf-plugin, so I took a look at the ODT format and it turned out to be rather simple and easy. So I wrote a maven plugin I called maven-odt2apt-plugin. It currently supports everything in APT with the exception of tables. It requires an APT.ott template file defining the APT styles which must be used in the open office document. Links and images are also supported. When you work in Open Office you get something that is not 100% identical, but very similar to the end result.
If you define the plugin to run in the "pre-site" phase and put your odt documents in src/site/odt and then do "mvn site" it will go all the way from your odt document to a site.
The plugin is released as open source under that Apache 2.0 license, and can be found on sourceforge: http://odt2apt.sf.net/.
I inform about this since at least I find it hard to find and know about all free software out there, and I believe that I'm not alone in disliking working directly with APT. I though that there might be others out there that might be interested in this plugin, and this is the right place to inform about it.
Best Regards,
Tommy Svensson

I'm starting to get a suspicion that the answer is going to be "read the source!" :-).

Hmm. I apparently suck att digging upp information at a site since all links both you and Dan gave me comes from http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia/ where I've looked twice now! But this is a good start. I will look into it. And looking at the code for the APT module is probably a good idea. Thanks for the information.

Well, reading the source doesn't hurt, you know... ;)
A lot of documentation for doxia is in the javadocs, see eg the sink (in
doxia-sink-api [1]) and the parser (in doxia-core, [2]). Basically, all you need
to do is create a new doxia module [3] with just a parser (a sink would be nice
too btw! :) ). For a parser you just need to implement one method:
parse(Reader source, Sink sink)
which takes an input document from a source and emits sink events into the sink.
You might want to consult the examples of existing parsers for the standard doxia
modules (apt, xdoc, fml) [4]. If you have any specific questions or problems,
don't hesitate to ask on the doxia-dev list [5].

I can't browse your source repository as I don't have hg but it sounds like it
should be easy now to turn this into a more general doxia parser. You don't have
to go via apt to generate your site/pdf, just parse your odt into a general sink
instead of an apt, then any plugin (site/pdf/other...) can use it directly to
generate any doxia-supported output format, without any coupling to the apt
format. In other words, odt would be an equal citizen in the list of maven
documentation input formats (apt, xdoc, confluence...). If you are interested,
attach a patch to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA, I would be happy to
review and apply it.
