OpenCloud is a Java library for generating tag clouds.
Basically the user adds words or word/link pairs to the cloud and defines its structure, such as the number of tags to display and the type of ordering. Then the library assigns a weight to each tag based on its frequency and gives back the resulting list of weighted tags. The tags can also be extracted from generic texts. The appearence of the cloud can be controlled through HTML/CSS instructions.
This is the first development release of OpenCloud. The library is complete enough to be used in simple applications, but the API should not be considered stable.
