Minor JODReports suffers from several limitations
- does only support ODT
- no built-in support for embeddding images
- no formatting features
- no doc
Our current implementation of DocX feature is very custom and very poor.
XDocreport (http://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/) represents a good alternative :
- supports OpenDocument and MSOffice XML format
- support XL and PPT too
- experimental support for formating
- code is clean, modular and allows for extensions (we will need that)
- documentation
- support for simple conversions via XSLT
For us this project provides the abstraction API around OpenDocument and DocX Formats + a set of pluggable tools.
=> this looks like a very good fit for a provider for our Document templating system
