[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Auto-generating EPF XML plugin file for import from Word documents

This morning I extended my framework so I can now extract subdocument links and hyperlinks from the Word html files. I then apply some magic to enable logic links in the xml generated.

For <CustomCategories> the Word subdocument references extracted should result in child elements <CategorizedElement>..IDENTIFIER..</CategorizedElement>
where the identifier points to a MethodElement (in the ContentPackage) with a matching id (within the same EPF XML document).


Same technique should apply for Configurations:
<MethodConfiguration> should have child elements <ProcessView>..IDENTIFIER..</ProcessView> that each points to a <ContentCategory xsi:type="uma:CustomCategory" ..> with a matching id.


For other individual MethodElements, fx within the ContentPackage that are divided into subdocuments there are several possible strategies:
* Merge all subdocuments into one
* generate individual MethodElements for each subdocument (same UMA type as parent element) and then create links to subdocuments from parent, eaither at the top or bottom of the MainDescription


Perhaps a config setting should decide which strategy to apply ;)

What do you think?
