Upgrading Apache FOP to 0.95

[gaohoward]

Hi guys,

As part of chinese support, I plan to upgrade fop in HornetQ lib/docbook-support. The current fop.jar in the HornetQ repo is of version 0.20.5. The latest Fop version is 0.95. I have experimented with both versions and I can successfully get a simple chinese PDF with 0.95 but failed to do so with 0.20.5. Little document about 0.20.5 can be found. So I will go for 0.95.

The upgrading basically includes replacing fop.jar as well as its dependent jars.

I know there is an on-going work in project PressGang using maven docbook plugin. However this Fop upgrading should be an relatively easy task and will serve as a intermeidate solution before maven doc-book plugin become available.

If no one objects I'll go on with it.

Howard

Fine as long as there are no license restrictions with any of the fonts you are using.

I can no longer build HornetQ distribution: the build fails with a FOP exception on a missing font:

[jmesnil]

can someone check that this work on Linux at least?

If not, we need to fix this ASAP to release 2.1.0.CR1 with the doc

[clebert.suconic]

it's also failing here:

probably I forgot to comment out the font path in fop config. It points to my local font dir.

I'll take a look.

[gaohoward]

should be ok now. I commented out the font path. Sorry about that.
