import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            Paragraph noteBody1 = new Paragraph();
            noteBody1.add("This is the footnote text.");

            Note footnote = new Note();
            footnote.setNoteClass(NoteClass.FOOTNOTE);
            footnote.setID("ftn1");
            footnote.setCitation("1");
            footnote.add(noteBody1);

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.add("This paragraph has a footnote");
            p1.add(footnote);
            p1.add(".");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            Paragraph noteBody2 = new Paragraph();
            noteBody2.add("This is the endnote text.");

            Note endnote = new Note();
            endnote.setNoteClass(NoteClass.ENDNOTE);
            endnote.setID("edn1");
            endnote.setCitation("i");
            endnote.add(noteBody2);

            Paragraph p2 = new Paragraph();
            p2.add("This paragraph has an endnote");
            p2.add(endnote);
            p2.add(".");
            doc.getBody().add(p2);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
