So my "99% sure" comment was in error. Just to be clear, the fundamental problem that Robert needs to address is that it would appear that he has done a local build without JAI support (as discussed in the related thread). If so, he should first rebuild FOP, preferably following the instructions, or alternatively by modifying the build.xml file to include the JAI jar files into the build. Any changes to the CLASSPATH or -cp are of secondary importance, and will not fix that fundamental problem (although Jeremias's advice sounds like "best practice" to me).
