The FObj.bind() method throws a SAXParseException if this method hasn't been overridden in the FObj subclass. I'm unsure why a subclass override is required (as the javadoc comment for this method indicates)--wouldn't it be OK if we just have an empty method here without the exception (e.g. if you have no properties of concern for a particular fo)? That would seem to be preferable.
I'm a bit unsure. Generally I wanted two ways of handling atrributes/properties. Either
- override "processNode" and optionally "createPropertyList" if the
element wants to deal with the attributes directly,
- or override "bind" if the element want to take part in the whole
property system.
Outline.java is an example of an element that want to handle the attributes directly. And I think that the other two element "Label" and "Bookmarks" should do the same.
So the preferred solution IMO would be to add a null "createPropertyList" and an empty "processNode" method to ExtensionObj.
I mention this because I'm currently trying to run our pdfoutline.fo example, and this exception is being called because no bind() method has been implemented yet in the fox:bookmarks element.

Appologies for the regressions.
