PETEN, AN UPLOADER FOR MAYAN EDMS

This is a hastily thrown together uploader for Mayan EDMS. It will watch a directory for new files, and prompt a user to upload them. Users are offered the ability to add tags or an indexable field to each item. It can upload .bmp files to a Mayan EDMS installation, compressing them to PNG (single page) or merging multiple pages into a lossless PDF. It can also directly upload PDFs.

By moving compression + page merging from the scanning software into another piece of software, it is possible to scan and upload large numbers of documents faster.

Peten is written in Java, using SWT+JFace for the GUI.

GETTING STARTED

Grab RCP for Eclipse Luna, extract the jars, and put the following in a directory named jface-jars:

• org.eclipse.core.commands_3.6.100.v20140528-1422.jar
• org.eclipse.core.databinding_1.4.2.v20140729-1044.jar
• org.eclipse.core.databinding.beans_1.2.200.v20140214-0004.jar
• org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable_1.4.1.v20140210-1835.jar
• org.eclipse.core.databinding.property_1.4.200.v20140214-0004.jar
• org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.6.200.v20130402-1505.jar
• org.eclipse.jface_3.10.2.v20141021-1035.jar
• org.eclipse.jface.databinding_1.6.200.v20140528-1422.jar
• org.eclipse.swt_3.103.2.v20150203-1313.jar
• org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
• org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
• org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
• org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
• org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar

Then run build-repository.sh.

The project should now build with Maven.

Edit pom.xml to indicate the SWT platform (i.e. windows 64-bit) you want to build it with.

Edit Globals.java so that API_BASE points to your API.

Run the following to build it: mvn clean compile assembly:single

In order to use this with Mayan EDMS, you'll need to patch a bug in your Mayan EDMS installation by using the included mayan.diff.
