I've published source code for a webapp which performs non-interactive processing of an OpenDoPE docx. The idea is that you provide the docx and an xml file, and the servlet will process that and then stream you the resulting docx.

A web app is a better approach than a command line app which exits after each run, since you don't incur Context startup time for each document.

You can find the source code at ...

The OpenDoPE website is at http://www.opendope.org

It contains the convention document, and other links.

It also contains a forum, which is the best place for OpenDoPE discussion which is not specific to the docx4j implementation.

There's a single A4 page reference/overview of docx4j aka a cheat sheet, in PDF or PNG format.

A much longer introductory guide to using docx4j can be found at http://dev.plutext.org/svn/docx4j/trunk/docx4j/docs/, in various formats and languages.

The translations from English were done with Google Translate. If one of these translations proves useful to you, please let us know and blog/twitter/link to it in your own language. Thanks.

What would be the (technical) way to contribute source changes?
I've allready checked out the docx4j sources from svn and created a local Eclipse project for it.

One relative small change I would like to do is to add the generic parameter for the jaxbElement member in the JaxbXmlPart base class and its subclasses.
