A tool that creates a PDF document - a movie list - with all the related moovie information.
The initial information must be provided in form of simple text files with movie names delimited by newline characters.
The text files can be also the results of the Windows dir or the Unix ls command.
The program tries its best to get the name of the movie and some extra information. The more extra information is provided in the file names the more true representation of your movies you get in the PDF catalog.
In this early stage of the project the program searches for movie information using Imdb and PortHu APIs only. Which one will be used, depends on the configuration properties.
The main goal here is to develop an application with plugin support for movie information retrieval. These "movie information provider" plugins would allow the users to customize their PDF reports. The above mentioned Imdb and PortHu API searchers would be also exported into such plugins.
