Yes, I've been using JDK 6, actually -- and I get all the FOP warnings/errors too (various JIRA issues have been filed on them) but the docs do build.

I think the problem was that I was running JDK 1.5, and the documentation
build appears to ONLY work with JDK 1.4. After I fully reset my environment to JDK 1.4 (both PATH and JAVA_HOME), the build seems to run successfully.

This seems like a bit of a problem, though, as JDK 1.4 is starting to get
pretty old. Do we need to be planning to enable documentation builds using
a more recent JDK?

thanks,

Hi Bryan,

For what it's worth, I have just successfully built the docs using a Java 5 environment. I say "successfully" because

1) after reams of severe FOP warnings, ant said cheerfully "BUILD SUCCEEDED"

2) I looked at the pdf, mono-html, and frame-based-html versions of the Reference Guide and they looked ok to me

Regards,
-Rick
