Fixed the earlier problems, which, it turned out, had to do with the order in which the superclass plugin instances were merged to create the subclass plugin. I can run the PDFBox command via UnknownConverterPlugin now at last, but while the text does go into doc.xml, previewing doesn't give me access to the HTML file. Not sure if this is requires fixing up a Formatting statement, or I'm not doing enough in the plugin.

-UnknownConverterPlugin.desc:If you have a custom conversion tool installed that you're able to run from the command line to convert from an unsupported document format to either text or HTML, provide that command to this Plugin and it will run the command for you, capturing the output for indexing by Greenstone, making your document searchable. Use * as placeholder for input file name, but specify suffix of file to be converted (and also of any output file generated, if a file and not dir of files is generated).

+UnknownConverterPlugin.desc:If you have a custom conversion tool installed that you're able to run from the command line to convert from an unsupported document format to text, HTML or a series of images in jpg, png or gif form, then provide that command to this Plugin. It will then run the command for you, capturing the output for indexing by Greenstone, making any documents that aren't converted to images searchable. Set the process_extension to the suffix of files to be converted. Set convert_to to be the output format that the conversion command will generate, which will determine the output file's suffix. Use INPUT_FILE and OUTPUT as place holders in the command, which Greenstone will replace. It will pass in the full path to each file that matches the process_extension suffix in turn as INPUT_FILE. OUTPUT will be replaced with a path in the temporary folder of the output file with suffix determined by the value of convert_to. If convert_to is a pagedimg type, Greenstone sets OUTPUT to be a directory to contain the expected files and will create an item file collating the parts of the document.
