I think the problem was that I was running JDK 1.5, and the documentation
build appears to ONLY work with JDK 1.4. After I fully reset my
environment
to JDK 1.4 (both PATH and JAVA_HOME), the build seems to run
successfully.
This seems like a bit of a problem, though, as JDK 1.4 is starting to get
pretty old. Do we need to be planning to enable documentation builds
using
a more recent JDK?
thanks,

Hi Bryan,
For what it's worth, I have just successfully built the docs using a
Java 5 environment. I say "successfully" because
1) after reams of severe FOP warnings, ant said cheerfully "BUILD SUCCEEDED"
2) I looked at the pdf, mono-html, and frame-based-html versions of the
Reference Guide and they looked ok to me
Regards,
