Polly, You are not the first, nor will you be the last, to be thrown by this. All of the work of the Options object is done in the constructor. You don't have to do anything more with it. It sets up a lot of static data, accessible by static methods, in a Configuration class. Have a look at org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration for the access methods. Look at the example config.xml and userconfig.xml in xml-fop/conf to see what sort of data is stored in there.
Hmm.... This seems to crop up a bit. Maybe something like a static Options.configure() would be less confusing for an essentially static operation.
