Merge DITA-OT similar Plugins

Hi,

DITA-OT 2.4.6
Oxygen Editor 22.0

We have developed 5 plugins to convert differnet types of xmls into DITA. The structure of xml content is differnet so we developed different plugins.

Ex: To convert Product1.xmls into DITA(dita topics,ditamaps) , we created plugin1. Similar plugin2 for Product2.xmls and plugin3 for Product3.xmls.

Now we are looking to merge the conversion process into one plugin

There is a plugin.xml and xslts for each plugin .

Below are the dita command used,

/usr/bin/env \
'JAVA_HOME=/java/current' \
'/h/src/dita-ot-2.4.6/bin/dita' \
'--format=Product1dita' \
'--input=/dev/null' \
'-Dargs.input.dir=/h/nonfa/svn/prod1' \
'--output=/h/nonfa/gen/prod1' |


/usr/bin/env \
'JAVA_HOME=/java/current' \
'/h/src/dita-ot-2.4.6/bin/dita' \
'--format=Product2dita' \
'--input=/dev/null' \
'-Dargs.input.dir=/h/nonfa/svn/prod2' \
'--output=/h/nonfa/gen/prod2' |

We are trying to merge these plugins into one to avoid maintenance.

Please suggest the best option to merge similar plugins into one plugin.

Thanks,
Samba

Hi Samba,

We do not have an automated tool to merge DITA OT plugins. So you will probably need to manually try and merge the plugins one by one. I cannot give you particular advice because I do not know what your plugins do and what resources they contain.
