Creation Zone: Java Code to Convert TWiki URLs to HTML Links

Few days ago I was looking for some code or tool with the ability to convert TWiki URLs to equivalent HTML URLs. (For the uninitiated, TWiki supports wide variety of URL formats in addition to the standard HTML format.). I spent almost 3 hours searching the web and trying out different code, Java classes etc., But at the end, none of the things that I found elsewhere seems to have the ability to convert almost all the TWiki URL formats that I'm trying to convert [to HTML]. So, I gave up looking for some readymade code and quickly wrote some Java code to resolve the issue that I'm trying to solve.

Now that I have the code, thought publishing it in my blog would help other people who are looking for something similar to this. So here it is. Download the source code from the following location.

TwikiToHTML.java

The code assumes that the TWiki system is deployed on http://www.mandalika.com (a fake web site), and is capable of handling the following TWiki URL formats:
