You are looking at the code that initialized the property subsystem at
startup. BaselineShiftMaker and all other makers play a role in this
part of the process.
All properties are stored in the FO tree. This happens during parsing
of the FO document; you do not have to do anything here. During layout
(area tree building) you can access them with fobj.getProperty(int
propId), where propId = Constants.PR_BASELINE_SHIFT, and fobj is the
node in the FO tree. See org.apache.fop.fo.FObj.java. You can also use
propertyList.get(int propId), where propertyList is the PropertyList
object of the FO node. See org.apache.fop.fo.PropertyList.java. The
return value is a LengthProperty, a subclass of Property. If I am not
mistaken, the keywords sub, super, baseline have been resolved to a
length value.
Note that you seem to be using the HEAD version from CVS, which is
still under development and is not guaranteed to be complete.
