I´m developing a Java solution for manage an iTunes Library (ITL file). The ITL format is a propietary one.
I'm looking for an implementation or a documentation about ITL format but Google can't find anything useful.
Does anyone have experience about that? Where to find more information?
Thanks in advance.
There is an open source project called titl that sounds exactly what you're looking for.
The repository is here: http://code.google.com/p/titl/

iTunes has an api that you can use to inform iTunes of changes without having to modifying the iTunes ITL file directly. On OSX you can use Applescript, on Windows a DLL that Ive manipulate using Jacob and Java
Most of the time, Apple folks uses preferences list format (or its XML counterpart). As an example, it is the case for iPoho Library file. I have had success parsing this file using commons configuration in the past. Maybe you could try it.

I am working on a module, which can import different kinds of files(currently those file types are SAS output format). Of course, this module is written by java, springboot. The main logic is that when user upload a file, the controller will pass the file inputstream to this module, and call the corresponding method by the file's suffix.
I have done some investigation and found that R-language and python could do this. Can anybody tell me whether there is another way, I mean, can do this job only by JAVA. Thanks.
The sas7bdat is a binary, proprietary format. Its layout has never been made public. Some people have figured it out (like the parso mentioned in the comment). If you really want to go down this path, use the python library as a guide. It will help with sas7bdat and sas7bcat. For the old SAS transport format, see my library on GitHub which is in C#. The new transport format appears to have some incorrect information in its description on the SAS website which I couldn't get around. I have put my code on GitHub in case you want to try.
All that said, let me offer a few words of wisdom: don't do it. Use the python library vs doing it in Java. Also, these libraries read the format vs having read/write. Keep that in mind (it sounds like it doesn't matter but FYI).
i have a windows app based on mfc that saves its doc using the CArchive (MFC) serialization class
i would like to load these files into my new andriod app but need some java code to understand the serialized data file format. once i pull it apart i can handle the data ok but don't really want to dissect CArchive created files myself. can anyone help, maybe a library out there somewhere?
See previous answers to this question (with respect to Ruby instead of Java) - Parsing CArchive (MFC classes) files in Ruby
Unfortunately, I think that you're going to have dissect it yourself.
I want to create a .dst embroidery file using Java. Are there any supporting libraries available? Or is it possible to convert any kind of image file to the .dst embroidery file format using Java?
Can anyone suggest any algorithms, encoding-decoding methods, etc?
I am the developer at Embroidermodder working on formats (the link mentioned by theJollySin).
I don't have any Java code, but I can point you to some preliminary documentation of the format (http://www.achatina.de/sewing/main/TECHNICL.HTM).
What are you trying to create in DST? I can assist you with whatever issues you have getting your Java code running.
The short answer to your question is, no. There are currently no popular libraries for generating .dst embroidery files with Java. My guess is that you will have a lot more luck trying to convert other file types to the .dst formats. The only option there (that I know of) is Corel Draw.
In the end, the best solution I can think of is to use the Tajima Ambaasador website. You have to register, but I believe most of their design/DST services are free.
(After some searching around online I also found this website, which has some more free software and seems like the best place to start if you're looking for information.)
Yes. I've written exactly such a library for python (pyembroidery) and trancoded that to java. It will work for both Android and Oracle Java and has fully fleshed out reading and writing of most major embroidery formats.

As part of a parallel project I've also done a considerable amount of work documenting various formats for a wiki on the topic. Located here:
https://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Embroidery_format
Which also has all the known technical details for DST file formats:

As for the second part of the question, embroidery files are vector-like files which provides a series of commands to be issued to an embroidery machine. You cannot directly convert raster-based image files to embroidery because the pixel information does not directly convert to any sort of embroidery machine command instruction structure.
I want to open and create .lzh file in java. I find jlha library.
But I can not find any examples of using this library.
Is there a similar library with documentation?
Take a look at project page hosted on google code. There you can find at least one example.
Have you checked the "jlhafrontend" project on Sourceforge?

Has anyone got a working solution without some Java/COM-bridge? E.g. process the Email as a file (.msg) rather than locating the data that is referenced in the Clipboard?
Maybe this is a solution for your problem:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaoutlookdd/
It allows to handle outlook items like File objects during drag&drop.
I did make some headway on this sort of thing a few years back using Apache POI to extract the contents of an email from .msg files. I'm pretty sure they have a simple swing explorer / viewer that you can use to examine the structure within the compound document format, but I can't find it right now.
I was able to extract most information that I was interested in but was ultimately wanting to create a mime format version of the message and couldn't extract all the information I needed in a format I could use.
I assume that you've already ruled out the tools in "org.eclipse.swt.dnd" for some reason? There are some examples here on how to go about using them, in case you haven't. If what you really want to do is drag&drop, you're going to have to do some work with those tools. At that point, really the question becomes, what format is it in on the clipboard, vs in a file, and which is easier to integrate into your app.
