Do you have multiple JVMs installed, or have you recently added
the release version of JDK 1.4?
I had a similar set of problems early this week. When I uninstalled
JDK 1.3, and re-installed it, I was able to get FOP building and running
again with 1.3. I had been experiencing strange errors (ClassFormatError,
wrong major/minor version, etc) for the first day or so after I installed
JDK 1.4.
This was on Windows 2000, however. I found the only "JAVA_HOME"
in the registry pointed to the 1.4 install, no matter what I set for the
environment variables in Control Panel. It seems the registry value
somehow overrides the environment. Putting "tools.jar" explicitly on
the classpath allowed Ant to start, but it always failed. The prebuilt
fop.jar would die with the class format problem.
If you have added or changed the VM settings, and 1.4 is involved,
then perhaps Mac has a system setting somewhere that the 1.4 VM
sets at install and looks for when running.
I didn't get to see the actual error until I changed fop.sh to use verbose
on java. Maybe adding verbose to the build.xml will help getting to the
bottom of this issue.
A lot of ifs, I know. Hope it helps.

Please respond
to fop-dev
Thanks for the suggestion, but the same problem occurs.
