Re: Cleaning up examples and tests

[Mark Malone]

Manuel,

My vote? Please Fix! Please Fix!  New users like me live and die by 
these demos and when they don't work I assume that it's my fault and 
not the demo code.  Demos that don't work confuse when they are really 
there to educate.  That's my vote.

While working on a patch I ran the generation of the fo examples in
docs/examples and noticed various warnings and errors being displayed 
(see
below).

I also noticed that the testsuite generation doesn't seem to work at 
all
(test/createpdf.sh).

Is it worthwhile cleaning this up? I have some time on my hands and 
could do
it. Or are there more urgent things especially with respect to the 
upcoming
20.5 I could lend a hand with?

I think the new boss advice is more useful ;)  New boss would say 
Take existing, make faster, short time to market! This can't be real.

 Rewriting FOP in C++ is not impossible, though it may be quite 
 difficult.  I'm really not sure what the rest of your questions are, 
 but I'd say it's going to take you quite a while to complete a project 
 like that, and if your boss is telling you and you alone to rewrite FOP 
 in C++, and you are only 22 with only one year of programming 
 experience, there is either a labor shortage in your office or your 
 boss' project management skills aren't stellar.

 What you might want to consider is showing your boss ways you can 
 integrate FOP in its current implementation without rewriting it in 
 C++.  For example, if you're performing PDF generation with FOP from a 
 C++ program, just write your source data to a file, fork a process that 
 runs FOP on that file, and then read the resulting file in.  Maybe it's 
 not as elegant as having a pure C++ solution (though I find nothing 
 about C++ elegant), but it will work with fewer bugs, and whereas it'll 
 take you a long time to rewrite FOP in C++, this method would take you 
 less than a day to implement.

 Hello master-hand:

   I using JAVA only one year!

   My boss order me analyse FOP,and rewrite in C++;I think it's 
 impossible!

   Now,I want to know.How long time I can find out the design about 
 FOP complete? Otherwise I am 22 old,  experience less one year!
   
 Can you help me???

Re: [PDF Viewer] Utility request

[Mark Malone]

Folks,
Excuse my ignorance but is the pdf viewer everyone is talking about 
provided already by Adobe on a huge number of platforms and called 
acrobat reader?  Or is it something else that is being requested?   
Also, pdf file reading is built into MacOS X as is pdf generation via 
native print to file output options.  What am I missing?

 FOP beautifully caters to the creation of PDF, but a viewer is very 
 much
 worthy and I'm sure the FOP with a viewer definitely strikes.

 Excuse me, If I'm more user conscious...

 Strong statements. I suspect there are at least one or two folks on this
 list who might consider ~them~selves quite user conscious, too.

 Perhaps you'd find that toning down the rhetoric might be a tad 
 helpful...  ;-)
