Simon,
I have been working at getting the xml-fop web site working for many months (at first using forrest-0.5.1, and more recently with forrest-0.6 since they're about to release a new version). More recently, I've had some success, but I'm currently working with the forrest-dev list to get them resolved--and we've made progress[1] & [1a].

I have tried to build the site with forrest, without much success. I had a few problems:
1. Validation error. I solved this problem by creating an OASIS catalog.
I solved this by essentially replacing the xml-fop/.../sitemap.xmap file with a 'clean' version from forrest. I then added the ==== FOP ADDITIONS ==== section.
2. Files in build/webapps/content are missing. These problems can be solved
by copying src/documentation/content into webapps, or by replacing
in sitemap-0.5.xmap all source references to content/ with
{project:content}, whatever that may mean.
I don't recall why a sitemap-0.5.xmap was created, but I removed it completely.
3. File src/documentation/content/xdocs/site.xml is missing. I did not solve that problem.
I have a few files here you can play with[2].
I've solved many of the errors, although I still get BUILD errors too. At this point, the errors seem to be mostly due to our having .svg & .fo files in the xml-fop/dev/svg/, xml-fop/dev/fo/, and xml-fop/fo/ directories, which need to be added to the sitemap.xmap pipeline.
Building the target htmldoc causes even more errors.
Are these two indeed broken, or am I doing something wrong?
I have been focusing on getting the site to build correctly[3]. Once I've gotten that completed my intention is to turn my attention to javasrc/JXR & htmldoc.

p.s. Many apologies that the xml-fop site hasn't moved to the next level yet. It has taken me a long time to get as far as I have (many months), and I'm finally getting somewhere. I'm hoping we won't have to wait until the forrest-0.6 release, as progress is moving along on resolution. xml-fop's forrest-related files (site.xml, forrest.properties, sitemap.xmap, etc.) had lots of antiquated code/XML that needed to be removed and then reconciled (for lack of a better term) with advanced features that were added. Some of these were causing the validation errors--especially if you're trying to use the newer versions like 0.5.x & 0.6.
