HowToAddAConverter

Follow this simple procedure to add a conversion step:


 * Become familiar with editing wiki pages in general. If you just want to try it out, you can do so in the OOModels:Sandbox.
 * If you don't already have, create an account and login (Why do I need an account?).
 * Create a conversion step page in this package: Artefact:Step/org/oomodels/wiki/steps/conversion You can simply cut&paste an existing conversion step.
 * Edit the properties of that conversion step:
 * SourceType: the oomodels page describing the source format of your conversion
 * TargetType: the oomodels page describing the target format of your conversion
 * ConverterId: the oomodels page describing the converter used for the conversion. See Category:OOModels Format Converter.
 * Depending on the converter you choose:
 * XSLT Converter
 * Template: the oomodels page containing a XSL stylesheet
 * Identity Converter
 * no additional properties
 * OOGenerator Converter
 * Template: the oomodels page containing a OOGenerator template

If your conversion is based on an existing converter, you're done. Otherwise
 * add a Category:OOModels Format Converter page to describe the converter
 * add the converter software
 * to the wiki, by talking to us - either we review the software and incorporate it into the oomodels download service, or, alternatively, we delegate conversion requests via HTTP/POST to a web service you provide yourself
 * to the eclipse plugin, by just adding your software as a plugin and announcing it via an extension point
