Adding third-party modules to JHOVE is a simple matter if they follow certain requirements. This page describes those requirements, and provides links to modules that have been written outside HUL.
A third-party module should be packaged as a jar file containing only the code for the module (not the classes of JHOVE itself). Multiple modules, if related, may be put in the same jar. The jar should include source code as well as classes. The license terms should be indicated in the source files or an accompanying text file. Additional jars may be required and should be documented. The jar(s) then need only be added to the classpath to be used with it.
To avoid confusion with HUL-created code, please do not put
third-party modules in a package which begins with
edu.harvard.hul.ois.
Individuals
or institutions wishing to donate locally-developed modules for
redistribution to the JHOVE user community should submit a statement of
their intention to jhove-support at harvard.edu.
See also Writing a Module.
Please note that these modules are unsupported by HUL, and that you use them at your own risk.
