UBL4J provides a Java implementation for Universal Business Language (UBL) Order to Invoice process. Given an UBL order document, it produces an UBL invoice document and renders its output to TeX, PDF or HTML formats. UBl4J uses the order document country and language information to tailor locale-sensitive invoices. Form more information, consult http://openinvoice.org/ubl4j/.
