(You asked 3 weeks ago as well - but I am answering now) (1) If POI had plans to support Visio. >> I was wondering if there are any capabilities, either already in >> POI or being planned for, to have a Java API for the Visio file >> format. A rather reasonable question. POI is now TLP and is the place for Java-based OLE2 file formats. So, are there any plans? Since the topic of what should be developed for the next major release has come up, it is also a pertinent question. (2) If there was anything Java and opensource that reads the Visio format, preferably all the way to XML >> Also, is there anywhere an open source Java converter from the >> native Visio format to XML? This is worth researching, if there is such software then perhaps the author(s) would make a good addition to the POI community. OpenOffice is looking for such a developer: http:// <http:///> graphics.openoffice.org/development/projects.html Here is a web page where someone is working on the file format http:// <http:///> www.redferni.uklinux.net/visio/ This points to http://freshmeat.net/projects/vsdump/ Which says: "vsdump is a set of tools that are useful for reverse engineering the VSD/VSS file format used by Visio." Vsdump is really here - http://www.gnome.ru/projects/vsdump_en.html http://www.gnome.ru/projects/docs/slide2.png does this stream look anything like an Escher drawing layer? Anyway it looks like these are some links that Dmitry could follow answering (2) in the affirmative (or nearly so) Regards, Dave On Jun 12, 2007, at 8:39 AM, Dmitry Goldenberg wrote: > Well, Andrew, I have a requirement for a project and I need > answers.
