Running DITA-OT 4.1.2 from Java API and extracted DITA-OT dir

[andreacanforadev]

I created a Java project and added org.dita-ot:dost:4.1.2 as dependency and extracted DITA-OT in a directory including all source files as in github develop branch.

I am trying to run a conversion with code:

ProcessorFactory pf = ProcessorFactory.newInstance(ditaDir);
pf.setBaseTempDir(new File(DATA_TEMP_DIR));

Processor p = pf.newProcessor("pdf")
		.setLogger(log)
		.setInput(inputFile)
		.setOutputDir(new File(DATA_OUPUT_DIR));

p.run();

I am getting exception:

Caused by: org.dita.dost.exception.DITAOTException: null
Caused by: org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException: import requires file attribute or at least one nested resource

Is there any documentation or guide on how to use Java API?

Thanks in advance!

Is there any documentation or guide on how to use Java API?

See the example in the docs at https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/reference/java-api.

That doesn't help much.. I am using the same code, and it's not working

Instead of extracting the source Git repo, use the distribution build. I think the root cause here is that you haven't run the install process, and the distribution build has the install process artifacts.

I tried also unzipping distribution build:
Caused by: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: dita-ot-4.1.2/build.xml

I also tried using ditaDir = /opt/homebrew/Cellar/dita-ot/4.1.2/libexec (Mac installation dir of working dita ot)
I get different error:
Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name messages, locale en_US

Is the ditaDir variable in your code set to the directory that contains build.xml? Are the lib and config directories in classpath?
