As you have visited the site you will know the information here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/testing.html This is all the information. The plans are to get FOP to be able to run through all the tests first. Of course if more people were involved then someone could work on improving this. Maybe

Sounds like you have an old version of FOP (around 0.17), it is always a good idea to tell us what version you are using. The NoSuchMethodError is probably due to an incompatible version of w3c dom classes. So you either need to get the right version, which could be difficult. OR use a newer
