jOpenDocument: Restarting the ODF manipulation Java library after a seven-year hiatus

https://hackmd.io/@coscup/Byawrav0_/%2F%40coscup%2FBJ1DrpwAd

The OpenDocument Format [1] is a true international standard format for interoperability of office documents, and is also the standard format for LibreOffice. In addition, OpenDocument has a clear XML schema that combines human readability with machine processability. As a result, there are many ODF manipulation libraries for many languages.
At the speaker's company, we use a Java library named jOpenDocument [2] for our Scala-based automatic report generation tool as I mentioned in last years' talk[3]. It is an excellent library with an easy-to-understand interface and easy-to-create templates to populate with arbitrary information. However, its development ended in 2014, and there is a problem that it is not compatible with newer Java and ODF versions.
In this talk, I will explain my story of updating such an old Java library and releasing it as OSS.
