Even good software sometimes has bugs, so when bugs are come developer have to go hunting. He takes a hunting stuff and goes deep into sources forest.

Sometimes when bug is tyrannosaurus size, it is easily to shoot it, maybe even a whole pack of such tyrannosaurus and bang!… software become pleasant but more often, bugs are hiding and in camouflage, they are crafty, cautious and as a rule very dangerous. When you hunting for such bugs, your blood freezes, you perception became like a string, ready to sound from the smallest touch, you are waiting in ambush… this is competition and you have to win it!

This post related to FST articles. It was hard during Summer to write on a regular basis, but now … Import tool already alive. Yes, I already implemented the following features:

• Basic import with restoring folders structure
• Plain import (all documents being imported into selected folder)
• Import with compression folders to ZIP archives
• Import with converting text files to PDF format
• Import with conversion TIFF files to PDF format
• Extracting ZIP files and imports them as a folder

During the work it became an obvious that tool need a comfortable way to interact with Docbase (check imported documents and structure, etc.) This requires create a sample browser, with some basic features set. So I make decision to split project into two subprojects

• Library with Swing components for Documentum
• Import tool project

Of course second project will be the first subscriber of the library.

Fast report for the passed time.

• Was refactored code which is display docbase structure as a swing tree
• Based on refactored code was created Swing component to choose target documentum type
  
  
  
  
• Also was created component to choose ACL
  

Ok, as a result number of Documentum Swing widgets was increased by two select dialog.
