[dev] Migrating to new ODF

Hi,

I haven't used the ODF libraries since they were part of Apache and now 
I have a project I'd like to make use of manipulating and creating ODF 
files and understand that "things have changed."  ;-)

I'm trying to run this code which ran fine with the Apache libraries

        try {
            template = TextDocument.loadDocument(templateFile);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            logItem("Template:" + templateFile.getAbsolutePath()
                    + ",TemplateFile not found.",
                    ex);
            throw new IOException(ex.getMessage());
        }

and receiving

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 
org.odftoolkit.odfdom.pkg.OdfValidationException; The ODF package 
'file:////ReportTemplates/ReportAgr.fodt' shall be a ZIP file!

My Maven dependency is ..

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.odftoolkit</groupId>
            <artifactId>simple-odf</artifactId>
            <version>0.9.0-RC1</version>
<classifier>jar-with-dependencies</classifier>
        </dependency>

I guess I have 2 questions.  The immediate question is why am I getting 
the ZIP file error and how do I fix the situation.  The second question 
is where do I find the documentation on how to use the new ODF Toolkit?  
The links seem to be broken on the web site. 
(https://tdf.github.io/odftoolkit/docs/ 
<https://tdf.github.io/odftoolkit/docs/>) I have a simple need.  I have 
created a template document that I want to use to replace fields (like 
name, address) with dynamic values and also add items to an existing table.

Some existing example Java code to do this would be very very helpful.


Thanks,

Andrew
