Add an exporter for Endnote XML

[HoussemNasri]

JabRef has an exporter for the legacy format of Endnote (similar to refer). Although we have an importer for Endnote XML, an exporter is yet to be implemented.

This will require UI additions as well, correct?
If so, where should the changes be?

[Siedlerchr]

No UI addtions needed. It will be simply available in the list of exporters to choose from.

I want to try this, but am only concerned about how to write a working test for it. If anyone wants to work together on this, let me know.

You can take a look at the other Exporters and tests for example.

1. Test the correct export of an endnote file. Here you maybe create a sample library in endnote, export/save it and then use that as base to check against.
2. Rountrip Test Importing + Exporting should result in the same library

Cool, I have a fuzzy idea in my mind, will give it a try. Once I'm done I'll open a draft pull request and tag you guys, it'll most probably require quite a few reviews.

@subhramit Nice! I assigned you the issue. Feel free to ask for more details here or in the draft PR.

While exporting, these are the options that are available:

How to add Endnote (*.xml) to it?

[Siedlerchr]

Go the class of one Exporter, right-click on the class name -> find usages. Then you will find out where it is called and where the other exporters are added.

Tip: Most stuff in jabref is grouped logically. e.g. all exporter stuff and importer stuff etc are under their corresponding packages.
