API for building BibTeXDatabase and its contents from scratch #5

@GoogleCodeExporter

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
JBibTeX was originally meant for manipulating the contents of existing *.bib 
files (ie. read it from disk, change its contents in relatively minor way, 
write it back to disk), but there seems to be interest in generating new *.bib 
files starting from various other data sources.

The most difficult task is the constructing of a BibTeX entry, because this 
involves generating field values in accordance with the standard, and properly 
escaping and encoding characters in user strings.

There should be a BibTeXEntryBuilder class, which would offer high-level API 
methods for setting every field type from user string.
