Introduction

The Atabaque DTDtoBean tool is usefull for developers who wants to use mapping between XML Files and Java Beans. There are some really cool XML Serialization tools, like JOX - Java Objects in XML, XStream or Simple, but sometimes it is hard to write the XML corresponding Java Beans by hand. If the XML file has a corresponding DTD file specifying the XML elements and attributes, you can automatically generate the standard Java Beans, that JOX understands, or optionally choosing generate annotations for using with XStream or Simple. It is a tool for improving coding productivity. This project was started from a necessity of Atabaque project, so that is the reason for using Atabaque DTDtoBean name.
