OpenDocument Metadata

See API documentation

The following classes assist you in the tasks of extracting and representing the information found in an OpenDocument’s meta.xml file.

These classes have changed radically as of 30 October 2005. The OpenDocumentMetadata class has had its name changed (it used to be Data).

It’s not just a name change–all the fields that were represented internally as int are now represented as Integer objects. The getfoo() and setfoo() functions still provide and receive int, but if you use reflection to access such a field, you will get an Integer.

OpenDocumentMetadata

This class provides a Java Object that represents most of the data found in an Open Document’s meta.xml file.

ODFMetaFileAnalyzer

This class provides a variety of methods for creating an OpenDocumentMetadata object from a File (in .zip format) or an InputStream.

Duration

Both of the preceding classes use the Duration class, which represents a duration as used in the <meta:editing-duration> element.
