[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Generating XMI files from external content

Hi,

Today I have been experimenting with ways to generate an EPF project from external content, such as external XHTML or XML files.

I have written two XSLTs, one to generate the Library.xmi and one for the Plugin.xmi. Appropriate xmi:ids and guid are generated using the XPath generate-id(.) function :) The internal references are maintained/handled gracefully!

Soon, I will be able to auto-import a set of Word HTML files or other content into an EPF project. I think I could enrich the Word docs with some suitable metadata that can later be extracted and used to insert the Word doc the right place as the right type of MethodElement, perhaps even splitting it up if necessary, or reusing parts as briefDescription or for presentationName, version etc.

More to follow...
