I'm developing a desktop application with java swing which should be able to display the visual content (notes, clefs, measures) defined in a MusicXML file in the frame. All .xml parsers that I found allow me to only create trees. I couldn't display the content with the JEditorPane, too.
Can I do it or will I need to first transform it dynamically to some other format such as .pdf? If so - how can I do it in java?
Use a JTextArea
to let the user edit raw XML. Load the file in the background using SwingWorker
, as shown here, to mitigate the effect of any latency.
@Override
protected Integer doInBackground() {
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("build.xml"));
String s;
try {
while ((s = in.readLine()) != null) {
publish(s);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
} finally {
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}
return status;
}
By visual representation, I meant that I needed a way to display this type of visual output.
You might look at the JMusicXML
project, which has "some Java awt/swing
graphics player." More resources may be found here.
