I did have this problem when an empty CLASSPATH value was added to the
classpath.
Do you by any chance have any of the following in your CLASSPATH
- "."
- ""
- xml-fop dir
Maybe we should not add the CLASSPATH variable to the classpath in
build.sh, as far as I know it has no problems with only the CP set in
build.sh. (and the same for build.bat)

Yes, this output should definitely contain all the information for the area
tree. So that in theory you could read in the area tree xml and render the
information (probably not very useful in practice).
This includes all things such as:
- areas generated
- viewports (clipping, alignment etc.)
- attributes (position, colour, fonts etc.)
- pages
I think that at this stage it may be more useful to get a cleaner interface
to the area tree. Then from that it will be easier to read all the area
tree information.
