I'm not sure what "ran that through ant" means. That is likely the problem. I'll try the Eclipse setup. Thanks Jeremias for this: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPIDESetupGuide should help here.
I tried that link and it says I need Subclipse. I try the link to download on this site: http://subclipse.tigris.org/subclipse/changes.html It says I need a username and password to login to their server. I did identify the jai jars I need. I just don't know where to find them. I tried downloading them from here: https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html#Stable_builds Using the link to the file jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jar.zip I just get a zip file containing one jar which contains an exe which wants to install tools. Is there a place to download those 2 jars or do I find them from that install? -----Original Message----- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 10:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AW: FOP Trunk Hi Eric, There's a build.xml that came with your sources. I ran that through ant and the necessary classes were generated. The reason behind that I don't know. javax.media.jai is Java Advanced Imaging. Look for jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar from Sun (now Oracle).

Mai 2010 15:55 An: [email protected] Betreff: RE: FOP Trunk I can understand about not being able to compile due to missing jars from other sources if their license says they can't be included in this download. That's not a problem as long as I can find them. Though I still can't find a jar to fix the javax.media.jai references, I'm more concerned with the missing org.apache.fop.fonts classes. Please tell me more about this "built on the fly". After getting all the files into a folder using the svn checkout command, I went into Eclipse and selected File > New > Java Project, then "Create project from existing source" and just selected that folder. Selecting Next and Finish, leaving any options as default, I then tried the Build Project. How would I set up the special build requirements to make the "on the fly" classes? -----Original Message----- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 9:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AW: FOP Trunk Hi Eric, Some classes are built on the fly during the ant build process. A simple compile of the existing classes in Eclipse can't find them. Some external jars are missing because of licensing constraints, AFAIK.

I am able to run compile ant target successfully, and the classes were generated in build folder. I am in windows environment, don't have an idea why you were unable to compile the project....?
