It would be great to do the upgrade.
As regards the dependencies: I don't know but I am sure that all the
required (and more) jars will be packeged in the FOP binary
distrribution and we will have to decide which one to include/upgrade
in OFBiz.

I should have a look soon

issue with OFBiz ? (we use v.0.94 currently)
There is also barcode4j
xalan-2.7.0.jar and serializer-2.7.0.jar still needed ?

PS : from FOP team
Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter
driven by
XSL Formatting Objects [1] and an output independent formatter. It
is a
Java application that reads a formatting object tree and renders the
resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently
supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, Print and TIFF/PNG. Apache FOP is
Open Source software and published under the Apache License v2.0.
It took longer than expected but we're happy to present the final
Apache
FOP 0.95 stable release. This is basically a bugfix release to
0.95beta.
The most important changes since the previous stable release (0.94)
are:
- many bug fixes and improvements in tables, better support for keeps
and breaks, new features: conditional borders and background on
columns and header/footer/body;
- better image handling thanks to the new image loading framework
provided by the Apache XML Graphics Commons dependency;
- improvements and bugfixes for font handling and font
auto-detection/-registration;
- performance improvements and memory optimizations for the property
handling in the FO tree.
- elimination of a potential multi-threading problem.
- some feature enhancements for RTF output (partial fo:leader support,
fo:page-number-citation)
Please note that support for Java 1.3 has been dropped. Only one
type of
binaries is provided now, that will run on 1.4+ JREs.
