Hi Jones,
i've improved my stuff once more. It's possible now to load modules
outside the main document by specifying it at the DocumentPrinter
instance using its method loadModule. I've committed it all into CVS.
I've attached an example, explaining the new feature. This example is
also in CVS.
You can call the stuff by simply calling the document printer:
java org.ujac.print.DocumentPrinter -resource-dir=.
-module=test/print/mymodule.xml ./test/print/custom-tag-test.xml
custom-tag-test.pdf
Note that the module is loaded using the resource loader and must be
located somewhere relative to the specified resource directory.
Best Regards,
Christian
