How to convert html to Atlassian markup in java app

[jost]

Hi Guys!

I have to implement parser (Java witchout atlassian SDK) which allow me to change my xml to csv to import issues. BUT i have to change description and comment in html to Atlassian wiki format. i found this:

how-do-i-convert-html-code-to-confluence-style-wiki-markup

So i add new dependency to my app:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.renderer</groupId>
<artifactId>atlassian-renderer</artifactId>
<version>8.0.5</version>
<systemPath>C:\Users\exo\eclipse-workspace\JiraXMLToCSV\atlassian-renderer-8.0.5.jar</systemPath>
<scope>system</scope>
</dependency>

But now i got this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/opensymphony/util/TextUtils
at com.atlassian.renderer.wysiwyg.converter.DefaultWysiwygConverter ...

Should i add some additional dependencies?

I'm not 100% sure how you're using the renderer, but I was able to convert HTML to MarkUp with the following relevant pom sections.

The snippets are below and working on github.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.atlassian.renderer</groupId>
    <artifactId>atlassian-renderer</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.5</version>
    <exclusions>
        <!-- This exclusion is necessary if you are in a
             situation which it conflicts, EG: using spring-boot -->
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Does it support the conversion of inline style which embedded in html to the wiki format ?

like if there is html with css for italic text is like as below

    <div><span style="font-style:italic;">Test Italic</span></div>

will the confluence convert above html in the wiki italic style?

This kind of question is best just something you try yourself to find out. I wouldn't know off handedly, since I'm just consuming their library not actually writing it.

 It doesn't look like their library supports inline styles, but it does support the <i /> tag. You can see it demonstrated here:

https://github.com/paul-nelson-baker/html-to-jira-markup/commit/03bce3c06681bfac5fd99b0ab136cbe4ef505ec6

You might have to do some data-transformations if you're consuming HTML from another resource.

Thanks @paul-nelson-baker . Your Code Example work fine but, when i build my plugin for Jira and upload it to Jira, Jira says that my Plugin modules can´t get activated. That happend only with the renderer dependency. Does anybody have the same problem or a solution for this? Thanks
