Dopus: new Docbook Publishing Framework

Hi,

I'd like to announce the availability of a new Docbook
framework: Dopus.
Dopus is available under GPL (the framework code and the
customization
layer) 
and the respective licenses of the used components.

Dopus is build upon Java and Apache Ant and uses freely
available components
like Apache FOP,
Saxon and Apache Xerces. The components are put together
using Apache Ant
and a generator.[bat|sh] script which makes generating
output a snap.

Dopus can be run on Windows (primarily testing environment)
or Unix systems
that support Java. The download archive includes a Windows
JRE to make
installation as painless as possible. Just copy to a
directory and you're
set!

Dopus supports the following features (amongst others):

* Resolving of XIncluded documents
* Catalog resolving: the SYSTEM ID in an xml file can point
to the URI, yet
it is resolved against the locally stored
  docbook DTD
* very flexible customization layer: can customize globally
(all documents)
or on a per document basis
* flexible build mechanism: can  plug in own Ant tasks that
do some work on
a per document basis

It can create the following document types:
* html : create chunked html
* singlehtml: create a single page html file
* htmlhelp: create a Windows Help (CHM) file
* eclipse: create an Eclipse Help plugin (together with
toc.xml and
plugin.xml)
* javahelp: Create a Jar file containing the help suitable
to view with
JavaHelp
* pdf: Create a PDF document
* validate: Validate the input docbook file
* distribute: export the Docbook input files into a ZIP
archive


Dopus can be downloaded in the freeware section of our
download area:

Feel free to download and give your feedback.
