Wanna work on a shared library? The dwca reader library actually already contains a DwcaWriter class which looks unfinished though. So I would propose to move my class from the wikipedia project there and its all neatly available in a small jar.
For visualisation Id be keen to know any good tool too. The only one Ive written is the dwca validator which shows the first 100 "star" records of an archive as a table. See bottom of an example report: http://tools.gbif.org/dwca-reports/286-7135712293886567122.html

Hi Markus,
Just to let you know that we are working on a similar module, within our Pensoft Writing Tool (PWT).
The question opened by Aaron reminded me to ask if anyone knows even a good DwC-A viewer, that is a tool that vizualises Darrin Core Archive files in a form of human readable table(s)?
Best regards, Lyubomir

Hi Aaron, unfortunately the archive generation inside the IPT does not exist as a separate library. Its rather tight to the IPT right now and not that easy to rip out I think. For this reason I started to write another small library while I was trying to export the species descriptions of the various wikipedias into dwc archives. Its also not entirely separate now, but I wouldn't mind making it a completely separate project.
The project is on github right now with the main class DwcaWriter here: https://github.com/mdoering/wikipedia-dwca/blob/master/src/main/java/org/tdw...
This writer is creating tab data files, the meta.xml descriptor and some xml metatda if demanded. The writer allows you to add core records one after the other while being able to add any number of extension records to the current core record. Once you are done with a record you simply call newRecord() and pass it a core id. At the very end you call finalize to write the meta.xml and bundle the archive.
The writer is being used here: https://github.com/mdoering/wikipedia-dwca/blob/master/src/main/java/org/tdw...
Sorry for the incomplete codebase, but its a side project I never had time to finish properly. If you like the idea Id be glad to move the dwca writer to a project on its own that we can both work on?
best, Markus

Hi,
I'm a developer working on the BDRS - http://code.google.com/p/ala-citizenscience/.
I'm in the process of adding the ability to export observations of species as a darwin core archive. I've been perusing your code files at http://repository.gbif.org hoping to find a jar file that I can leverage some of the functionality of the IPT without having to run whole application. To achieve this I would like to include one (or more) of the org.gbif jars as a dependency in our maven build.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the jar that constructs a new archive.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? If the functionality I'm looking for doesn't exist, that would be great for me to know as well.
Thanks for your time,
