How can I create an odt (LibreOffice/OpenOffice Writer) file with Java programmatically? A "hello world" example will be sufficient. I looked at the OpenOffice website but the documentation wasn't clear.

解决方案

ODFDOM is a free OpenDocument Format

(ODF) library. Its purpose is to

provide an easy common way to create,

access and manipulate ODF files,

without requiring detailed knowledge

of the ODF specification. It is

designed to provide the ODF developer

community with an easy lightwork

programming API portable to any

object-oriented language.

The current reference implementation

is written in Java.

// Create a text document from a standard template (empty documents within the JAR)

OdfTextDocument odt = OdfTextDocument.newTextDocument();

// Append text to the end of the document.

odt.addText("This is my very first ODF test");

// Save document

odt.save("MyFilename.odt");

later

As of this writing (2016-02), we are told that these classes are deprecated... big time, and the OdfTextDocument API documentation tells you:

As of release 0.8.8, replaced by org.odftoolkit.simple.TextDocument in

Simple API.

This means you still include the same active .jar file in your project, simple-odf-0.8.1-incubating-jar-with-dependencies.jar, but you want to be unpacking the following .jar to get the documentation: simple-odf-0.8.1-incubating-javadoc.jar, rather than odfdom-java-0.8.10-incubating-javadoc.jar.

Incidentally, the documentation link downloads a bunch of jar files inside a .zip which says "0.6.1"... but most of the stuff inside appears to be more like 0.8.1. I have no idea why they say "as of 0.8.8" in the documentation for the "deprecated" classes: just about everything is already marked deprecated.

The equivalent simple code to the above is then:

odt_doc = org.odftoolkit.simple.TextDocument.newTextDocument()

para = odt_doc.getParagraphByIndex( 0, False )

para.appendTextContent( 'stuff and nonsense' )

odt_doc.save( 'mySpankingNewFile.odt' )

PS am using Jython, but the Java should be obvious.
