Extract your Essbase outline with OutlineReader

OutlineReader  is a Java package (jar) made to extract Essbase outline structure (parent-child format) and its properties (alias, formula, uda, attribute...), making it a good way to document your database outline.

I got inspired by Outline Extractor utility, currently maintained and supported by AppliedOlap and originally developed by OlapUnderground. 
OutlineReader is also widely inspired by the ReadOutline.java class that is available in the Provider Services JAPI samples (please refer to Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps\samples directory).

OutlineReader is based on Essbase Java API v.11.1.1.3 (JAPI) and was pre-compiled using JDK 1.5. As IDE I used Netbeans IDE 6.8 and lately 6.9.1. I also used Apache CLI (Command Line Interface) in order to simplify the development of the command line interface.

OutlineReader is free and is open source software (MIT license), please feel free to contribute!
