What It Is

DOAPamine is set of Java 5 Annotations that can be used to insert DOAP data into Java classes. Also included is an Ant task to reflect on the annotations and produce DOAP in RDF/XML.

FYI, DOAPamine used to be hosted on www.ontogon.com, but I've moved hosts. Hence, the com.ontogon package name.

You can download the latest (0.3) version here.

How To Do It

Annotate Your Class

Annotate your class file with the annotations thusly:

Run the Ant Task

Run the Ant task against your DOAPamine annotated Java class.

The Result

Marvel at the output! Now, upload your DOAP file one of the many sites that aggregate DOAP info such as Code Zoo, doapspace, doap:store, etc. <?xml version="1.0"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" xmlns="http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#"> <Project> <name>DOAPExample</name> <homepage rdf:resource="http://www.bar.com"/> <shortdesc>DOAP Annotation Example</shortdesc> <description>An example of using DOAPamine Java annoations.</description> <Release> <version> <name>unstable</name> <created>2005-10-15</created> <revision>0.1</revision> </version> </Release> <mailinglist rdf:resource="foo@bar.com"/> <download-page rdf:resource="http://www.foo.com/doap"/> <license rdf:resource="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html"/> <license rdf:resource="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html"/> <category rdf:resource="DOAP"/> <programming-language>FooScript</programming-language> <developer> <foaf:Person> <foaf:name>John Doe</foaf:name> <foaf:mbox>jd@bar.com</foaf:mbox> <rdfs:seeAlso rdf:resource="http://www.bar.com/people/jd/foaf.rdf"/> </foaf:Person> </developer> </Project> <rdf:Description rdf:about=""> <foaf:maker> <foaf:Agent> <foaf:name>com.ontogon.doapamine.DOAPTask</foaf:name> <foaf:homepage rdf:resource="http:/www.ontogon.com/doapamine"/> </foaf:Agent> </foaf:maker> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>
