Analysis

Warning! This content is now obsolete. Read GROUP_ANNOTATIONS_R0.

Overview

Annotations can be exported to and imported from a file. This includes stickies, highlights and audio annotations.

Task requirements

In the Stickies palette in the Annotations tab there should be two buttons: "Save Stickies As..." and "Import Stickies...". The Highlights and Audio palettes should have analogical buttons (when done).

When clicked such a button, a file dialog appears.

It's important that it should not be possible to import stickies and highlights, exported from another book.

I recommend to implement ANNOTATIONS_STICKIES_R0 first.

Task result

Source code.

Implementation idea

Use the same code that performs saving/loading annotations from/to a file.

Use JFileChooser control. If dealing with stickies, the file filter should be something like "*.stickies" and etc.
