I'm a newbie who just downloaded fop 1.1.rc1. I didn't get very far before getting a Headless exception (see below). Note I'm using JDK 1.6 and tried this on Windows XP and Window 7. Note that the problem doesn't occur with fop 0.93.

I was following the Getting Started instructions, which say:

  Hello World with FOP

This section walks you through a "Hello World!" page with Apache FOP. We're assuming you download the binary distribution and that you have a Java Runtime Environment (version 1.4 or later) installed.

Unpack the downloaded binary distribution to a directory of your choice (for example, C:\FOP if you're on Windows). Let's call that directory <fop-home>.
  Get a command prompt in the <fop-home> directory and write:
  Windows: fop -fo examples/fo/basic/readme.fo -awt

Headless Exception occurs:

>fop -fo examples/fo/basic/readme.fo -awt
