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.
Thanks -Vincent
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 -Vincent
