Certainly not. But it might help you getting to know Cocoon since you're likely going to do Cocoon projects in the future, right? > > Also, although this is perhaps a bit ambitious for two days, we could > > discuss about the merging of the line- and page-level breaking > > algorithms? > > It is a good idea to look at this, although it is a very complex > subject. Yeah, and don't expect to get much done at a hackathon. > What is a Cocoon serializer in FOP? What does Maven have to do with it? A serializer is a Cocoon component that converts an XML stream (FO in this case) to a binary stream (PDF in this case). It's how FOP is integrated into Cocoon so the Cocooners can generate PDFs. They have a FOPSerializer for 0.20.5 but now that the API has changed they need a new one. http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/pdf-serializer.html Maven is used to build Cocoon 2.2 and I've already tried to write a FOPSerializer during the last ApacheCon but I spent the whole day just trying to build Cocoon using Maven, failing in the end. <snip/> Jeremias Maerki
