Yes, it's called Acrobat Reader. What's being requested is something a little more tightly integrated to FOP. BTW, I think it's great that MacOSX creates PDF files when you opt to print to a file. -Original Message- From: Mark Malone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I see FOP's role as being a data transformer first and foremost. We may want to consider packaging a PDF viewer with FOP, but I'd recommend against putting it *IN* FOP. -Original Message- From: RamanaJV [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 12:47 PM To: [EMAIL

jProf is actually its own complete memory profiling system. It's based on the JVMPI API, much like my much simpler homebrew profiler was. jProf will give you a pretty detailed analysis of how much of the heap got used up by which types of objects, and IIRC it also gives information on method

My primary concern with utilizing different source build paths is that it will require everyone to build from source. I think this could hamper FOP's acceptance, which is the main reason I didn't support that originally. Additionally, when you think about it, altering the source build

Peter, Rather than building multiple version dependant JARs and having users select the best one, perhaps we could, behind an interface that effectively hides the issue, detect the version of the VM being run and dynamically load appropriate handler classes? This alleviates the burden of

That is one way to handle it, but I think we might want something more in the box than that. How many of FOP's users built FOP from scratch and thus used ant? It's not entirely necessary, especially if you're not a FOP developer. Rather than relying on Ant, I'd say a runtime detection of VM

Indeed. I've had to deal with very similar issues in the past. Our best bet, IMHO, is going to be the compile on 1.3, run on 1.2 route. Since we have far more people using binary builds than compiling from source, that route will provide the least disruption for the most people.

CommandLineStarter is, if I'm not mistaken, part of the FOP standalone program, so you're not supposed to use it to embed FOP in your applications. There are instructions on how to embed FOP on the FOP website, so you should check those. If launching FOP via its standalone command line
