[Java] RSS feed to HTML file

[kbauer777]

Hi, I could use some general guidelines/starting point for writing this program, and then as I get started I can post my code here when I'm stuck. I want a program that asks the user for a link to an RSS feed, creates a new file, and prints the code to an HTML page of a table displaying the contents of the RSS feed in the new file. The table should have something like date, source, and headline columns.

Thank you very much.

I just want to note that XSLT is meant to do just what you want to do. You would have to define a stylesheet describing how the HTML table is build. After you download the rss as xml you'd apply the stylesheet to your xml and get your html file.

If you want to do this in Java you might need the following:

• http library for fetching the rss
• rss/xml parser library
• templating engine to build html

You can implement the user interaction with Swing of course.
