Ok. Maybe that’s just me, but after reading that section, I still fail to understand what an ‘event object model’ is. And since that section starts by explaining implementation details (names of parameters not provided by the JVM, need of QDox), I’m inclined to skip it all. After all, I’m not a developer, but a user of the library. > And http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/events.html#plug-ins That section starts with “The event subsystem is extensible.” I don’t want to extend it, I just want to use it! And nowhere is it written that something must also be added to the build file. This is all confusing. But I guess I shall feel free to improve it as I see fit. Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest.
