The code in the fop-maint branch is code that has not yet been peeled off into a FOray module. All of it eventually will be. The case of the "app" module, which will eventually contain the API that you are looking for is in an especially bad state ATM. I renamed the CLI class "Fop" to FOray and also moved it into the FOray "apps" package (it seemed especially confusing to ask users to start Foray from either a class or package with "fop" in its name). However, all of the other related classes still live on the fop-maint side. So the main class you are looking for is org.foray.app.FOray, but if you follow in a debugger, you will quickly be over in org.apache.fop.apps.Starter, and most of the rest of that package will look pretty similar to FOP's maintenance branch. The reason for this state is that I want to make major changes to that outer layer of the API, but it won't get done until I get a bit further along in getting the FOTree peeled off. I hope that helps. If you try to use FOray ATM, you may get errors on properties, which is also currently in an ugly state, half using the old scheme and half using the new scheme. I am not aware of any actual errors ATM, but there almost certainly are. My general advice would be to wait until I have it in a beta quality state again, but the other option is just to let me know if a bug is causing you problems. Victor Mote
