While were suggesting enhancements for the AWT window, here is a change I made to the code Ivan Latysh sent me last week. I needed to process XML:FO which is dynamically generated and not .xml and .xsl files. So I modified the run method to take an InputSource object (containing XML:FO) instead of two File objects. I would like to see this option added if possible. It makes using the AWT window much easier when the report to be viewed is build from data retrieved from a database by a server and sent to a client application or applet for viewing. It also works well with Java Web Start, where the placing of .xml and .xsl files on the workstation is a hassle due to the JWS security sandbox.
