ИскаBoo starts its life

The eBook project is in the works and enjoys its new home. Why ИскаBoo(IskaBoo) you might ask? Well it's a play on two words, Russian искать which means to search and Boo which is English Book without the 'k'. Sounds nice, don't you think?
So the first conversion I am doing is actually from LRF to PDF just because there are libraries available for the conversion: LRFTools. Yes, I wanted to implement fb2 to lrf first, but I'd like to finish UI part first so that I have extension point correct to contribute to conversion. The extension point here is this:

view plainprint?

1.   <extension point="free.akravets.iskaboo.ui.converter.eBookConveterProvider">  
2.      <ebookconverterprovider description="Converts LRF to EPUB files" <br="">inputtype="lrf"   
3. name="LRF to EPUB Converter"   
4. outputtype="epub" providerclass="free.akravets.iskaboo.ui.coverter.lrttools.LRF2EPUBConverter">  
5.      </ebookconverterprovider>  
6.   </extension>  

  
     inputtype="lrf" 
name="LRF to EPUB Converter" 
outputtype="epub" providerclass="free.akravets.iskaboo.ui.coverter.lrttools.LRF2EPUBConverter">
     
  

So here a plugin that wants to contribute to conversion mechanism will implement this extension point and provide implementation of IEBookConverterProvider interface:

view plainprint?

1. public interface IEBookConverterProvider {  
2.  public URL convert(URL inputDocument) throws MalformedURLException;  
3. }  

public interface IEBookConverterProvider {
 public URL convert(URL inputDocument) throws MalformedURLException;
}

Of course this interface is not 100% set, but basic conversion from LRF to PDF almost works.
