Help me architect Struts Resume

I've come up with a few issues for Struts Resume that I need some feedback on. Let's just get right to them. * How should I assign skill groups and skills to a resume? * Resume Templates - should I do something like Roller or simpler? * Can I produce PDF or RTF from a Velocity template? I've [elaborated more|StrutsResumeArchitecture] on my wiki. Please post your feedback via comments or on the wiki.

Update: Thanks to Mathius, I was able to implement a simple XHTML and RTF (Word) version of a simple resume today. I don't think Velocity will be the only option, I think I'm going to have to have an XSL Transformation Servlet as well, and the user will be able to choose Velocity templates or XML/XSL/FO. But that will be in a later version of Struts Resume. For 1.0, I'm going to concentrate on getting a resume updateable and presentable - PDF will be a post-1.0 option. The main reason for this is because I think I can release a 1.0 version before my next gig starts. After I start, it might be quite a while until I can get some time to work on it again.

This might not answer the first question directly, but I would suggest looking at the XML Resume project: http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net/ Since most job sites are moving towards XML based resumes, and XML resume feeds, I think their project is a fairly good baseline to follow for defining the resume.

i've used fop (http://xml.apache.org/fop/) to generate pdf output from xml. it works great!

Skills is a many to many w/ Resume; a clasic E/R. For PDF I use iReport.sf.net. If you just want to be a syndicated columis on (somone else Struts based blog sofware) just tell me your rate! (It would still be RaibleDesigns.com, but based on bP -- with a simple JPG advertising basicPortal - itself open source struts). .V

I agree with dsuspense about using XML but after investigation of XML Resume suggest using HR-XML http://www.hr-xml.org/ instead. XML Resume is more applicant-friendly as it is created by applicants themselves, however HR-XML is being created by the companies that will be making the next wave of HR software (IBM,Oracle,etc.). You could be cunning and generate base objects from XMLSchemas so that you could use either.
