I'm new to FOP, just joined the mailing list and I'm not sure what exactly is going on so I'd *really* appreciate it if someone could explain how to build FOP from the latest src (if it is even possible). I've been unable to build FOP from the src archive as of 3/11. A couple of the error messages I get are:
[javac] /Users/bkylberg/Projects/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/image/ analyser/SVGReader.java:204: Method createSVGDocument(java.lang.String, java.io.InputStream) not found in class org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SAXSVGDocumentFactory [javac] SVGDocument doc = (SVGDocument) factory.createSVGDocument(uri, fis);
[javac] /Users/bkylberg/Projects/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/render/ps/ PSTextPainter.java:93: class org.apache.fop.render.ps.PSTextPainter must be declared abstract. It does not define java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D getBounds(org.apache.batik.gvt.TextNode) from interface org.apache.batik.gvt.TextPainter.
and so on until the build fails...
The first error can be corrected by calling createDocument instead of createSVGDocument. createSVGDocument is an undefined API on SAXSVGDocumentFactory so I'm not sure how anyone has been able to compile this (ref: http://xml.apache.org/batik/javadoc/org/apache/batik/dom/svg/ SAXSVGDocumentFactory.html ).
The second error is due to the fact that PSTextPainter claims to implement TextPainter (ref: http://xml.apache.org/batik/javadoc/org/apache/batik/gvt/ TextPainter.html ) but is in fact missing API implementations, among which getBounds is one. In fact I believe the implementation of PSTextPainter.getOutline(TextNode node) is altogether wrong insofar as PROXY_PAINTER isa StrokingTextPainter whose getOutline method takes a TextNode *and* a boolean (ref: http://xml.apache.org/batik/javadoc/org/apache/batik/gvt/renderer/ StrokingTextPainter.html ).
According to the mailing list archives PSTextPainter was recently submitted and added to the repository (ref: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=104737262930539&w=2 and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=104735385419249&w=2 ).
Perhaps everyone is using a different version of Java than I am ;-) but if not, then I'm wondering how anyone is able to build FOP given these defects? Am I the only one whose tried to build FOP from scratch in the past 2 days?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
