It's probably not very difficult to add another HTML to XWiki
converter[1] to the my Java Wikipedia API [2].
You can try the converter online at [3].

Hi,
I have built a standalone plugin to convert MS Doc, MS excel to
html.
cool :)
This
plugin can run as a jar through command line or as a web
application through
url.
What do you mean by plugin? Do you mean xwiki plugin (probably not)?
You need to find out and propose how to integrate the import feature
into xwiki both in term of UI and in term of code. The best right
now is probably to add a button in the tiny MCE editor.
Next, how to convert the html to xwiki syntax
document? use xslt?
Do the new
rendering code have any influence?
I think we can do it in 2 steps:
Step 1: get clean HTML. Since XWiki is able to display HTML it
should work fine. This also means that the imported doc will be
edited through the WYSIWYG editor (tinyMCE)
Step 2: convert the HTML into wiki syntax wherever possible. This is
indeed a job for the new rendering module and you'll need to write
an HTML Parser (i.e. implementing the org.xwiki.rendernig.Parser
interface). You should have a look at the 2 existing parsers:
WikiModelXWikiParser and DoxiaConfluenceParser. In this case though
you should use an XML parser to parse the XHTML instead of wiki
model or doxia. Thus it's important that in step 1 you get clean
XHTML (probably run JTidy on it).
Just found that some wikimodel guy is working on converting xhtml to
wiki syntax:
http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/issues/detail?id=5
Might be worth talking to him to see how he's progressed since we
might want to use his work and possibly even help him.

Now I
can't handle the clipboard format. I think clipboard is at
the second
priority.
My another question: how to add my code to xwiki code sandbox? Do
I need to
build ,test and distrubut my plugin by maven way? If yes, please
tell how.
You need to follow all the coding conventions and best practices
described at
dev.xwiki.org
You need to provide a maven build yes. Plenty of examples in the
xwiki source tree.
The best is maybe that you package your code as a xwiki plugin for
now. check xwiki-platform-plugins for examples of plugin and how
they are packaged/built.
Thanks
