An ePub editor

For slightly over the past year I've been working on a program that can 
be used to compile all the parts of an ePub file. I've finally gotten to 
the point where I'm willing to let other people see what I have created. 
On Oct 7, 2011 I registered the project "ePubEditor" with 
SourceForge.net, and uploaded all my code there 
(http://epubeditor.sourceforge.net/).

ePubEditor allows a person to create a new electronic publication, then 
add HTML, JPEG, and other OEB "core" media type files to the ePub's 
manifest. Once "manifested," these files can be added to the reading 
order of the publication (the content, or "spine") where the content can 
be reordered. Metadata such as author identities and subject matter 
identifiers can be added, and the compiled document can be saved as an ePub.

ePubEditor includes some minimal editing functions, such as the ability 
to globally replace one HTML element with another, or insert new HTML 
elements. It also can trigger a "clean" function, that runs XSL 
transformation scripts against the entire publication content; the XSL 
files themselves are named after the publication publishers, and can be 
added and edited by the user. ePubEditor can build an HTML Table of 
Contents according to user-specified HTML elements, and can generate an 
ePub 2.x .ncx file based upon an HTML Table of Contents.

ePubEditor can generate a report of all styles used in a publication, 
excluding those set in the ursers own CSS file, and can also invoke the 
epubchecker program to check the ePub before it is generated.

 From the Manifest view large HTML files can be split into multiple 
parts, and external editors can be invoked to edit any file in the 
manifest.

ePubEditor is a Java "Swing" application, which means you must have the 
Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or greater installed on your 
computer before it will run. It is officially classified as "pre-alpha" 
on the SourceForge web site, but that classification is probably 
generous. It /will/ run, but there is no guarantee that it will not 
crash. At the time of this writing, it is totally undocumented.

Everyone is welcome to download and try the program. I will try to be 
responsive to questions so long as they are asked in a public forum such 
as this one. Feel free to enter bugs and RFEs at the SourceForge web 
site. I would welcome any help with the project, especially someone who 
might be willing to write some documentation.
