So far we are embedding the complete XMLMind distribution in our
development toolkits; it serves two purposes:
= The GUI application is used by developers to author Docbook documents
= The batch conversion program is used under the hood at compile time to
generate the documentation
We would like to separate those two purposes and create a smaller
embedded package for the batch conversion, just adding the Java classes
scripts and addons needed to perform the conversion. The rationale is to
get a much smaller package but also the upgrade XMLMind GUI to benefit
from the latest goodies without changing the batch conversion
procedures, since changes are very rare in this area.
Could you advise us on how to create this packaging; is there a smart
way to do it ?
Yes, starting with XXE v6, the simplest is to create 2 different,
*self-contained*, xxe.jar to be embedded in your development toolkits.
First xxe.jar, intended to be used to embed the GUI application,
contains: XXE code + some dependencies such as resolver.jar + the
Docbook configuration + few add-ons such as MathML, Batik, etc. This
xxe.jar is much smaller than the second one. See below.
Second xxe.jar, intended to be used to embed the batch conversion
program, contains XXE code + some dependencies such as resolver.jar +
the Docbook configuration + many add-ons such as MathML, Batik, FOP,
JEuclid.
Moreover this second xxe.jar requires saxon.jar, while the first one
should run fine without it.
How to create these *self-contained*, xxe.jar files and more generally
how to embed XXE is explained in this new chapter of the Developer's Guide:
Embedding an advanced XML editor based on XXE in your Java™ application
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/embed_xxe.html
What's explained here also applies to xxetool, the batch conversion
program. See the class hierarchy of xxetool to understand why:
