Cool!

So here is what I'll do:

- change version number of pdf-plugin in the branch to 0.3

- change required Forrest version number (but see below)

- merge all changes

You should merge changes from the whole trunk into branch first and then test. If all goes well you can merge back into trunk. This step is not required but sometimes it sometimes highlights a change in trunk that affects your changes in the branch.

- create an instruction file for using the new fop in 0.8
  by changing the plugin in properties to 0.3,
  adding the required libraries and replace the style sheets

If there are manual install steps needed I don't think it's a good idea to claim that FOP is supported in 0.8 (hence change the minimal forrest version). We don't want support requests for this so it should be confident users only.

This will mean the autodownload will not work for this plugin and the user will need to perform all steps manually including downloading the plugin manually.
