If you have very limited time then it's probably too soon for you to try out FOP Trunk. It's still work in progress and we're only planning the first preview (!) release. It's not like the whole thing is already fit for production work. It's a good time for interested people to try out the code and provide some feedback (or even better, fixes). > Btw, when you develop FOP, what environment are you using ?

Just make sure you run "ant codegen" to create the build/gensrc directory which you have to add to the source path. http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPIDESetupGuide > Regards > /R > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 8:48 AM > > To: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org > > Subject: Re: Building Fop 1.0dev with JDK 1.3 ?? > > > > > > Until we decide otherwise, FOP is still targeted at JDK 1.3 but you're > > right it currently doesn't compile.
