Is there a Java library equivalent to System.IO.Packaging. If so what is the experience of

  1. unpacking DOCX files
  2. editing DOCX files
  3. building DOCX files from scratch.

  • It would be nice if you linked to the namespace in question in the future so that people who only know Java have a chance of answering. – Joachim Sauer Oct 07 '09 at 11:33
  • @Joachim I believe this IS the namespace.I also included the SO tag for system.io.packaging. I assume you edited the link to the MS URL - if so thanks – peter.murray.rust Oct 07 '09 at 11:40
  • @01 @willcode thanks for the links. Both of these point to rather moribund projects (openxml4j.org doesn't respond and plutext was last edited 11 months ago). More recent news would be valuable - do people use these pakages today? – peter.murray.rust Oct 07 '09 at 11:42
  • Yes, I meant the URL. Of course you mention the namespace, I was asking for a URL to the documentation that we can find out what it actually does (because "Packaging" can mean any number of things). – Joachim Sauer Oct 07 '09 at 11:43
  • I was too hasty and unfair to plutext - it has an active forum and has recently released – peter.murray.rust Oct 07 '09 at 11:55

I'd recommend docx4j which you can find here: http://dev.plutext.org/trac/docx4j It is a library for creating/unpacking/editing docx files and also lets you convert them to html, pdf etc.
