Hi,

I have a couple of newbie build questions.

1.  I just downloaded fop-0.20.3-src.tar.gz and unzipped it into a dir
called c:\fopsrc.
2.  When I execute build.bat at my command line, it starts chugging away but
then gets the following compiling error.

[javac] Compiling 720 source files to C:\fopsrc\fop-0.20.3\build\classes
[javac]
C:\fopsrc\fop-0.20.3\build\src\org\apache\fop\render\awt\AWTFontMetrics.java
:287: No variable TRUETYPE_FONT defined in class java.awt.Font.
[javac]                 cashedFont =
Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,fontStream);
[javac]                                                  ^
[javac] Note:
C:\fopsrc\fop-0.20.3\build\src\org\apache\fop\tools\anttasks\CompileXMLFiles
.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.  Recompile with "-deprecation" for
details.
[javac] 1 error, 1 warning
BUILD FAILED
C:\fopsrc\fop-0.20.3\build.xml:589: Compile failed, messages should have
been provided.
Total time: 3 minutes 13 seconds

3.  Why do I get this error?
4.  Does this build.bat recompile all the java files that are part of the
fop application to make a new fop.jar?
5.  Say if I edit Driver.java and want to see the results of changes, I
would run this build.bat to recompile and get a fop.jar that reflects
changes?
6.  Should this question be in the developer listserv instead?

thanks,
Will Carter
