actually, if anyone cares, i did verify (as above) that my fop.jar had compiled-in JAI support. i had the JAI jar files in the CLASSPATH, and the make worked properly. i moved those jar files out of the CLASSPATH, and the make generated the (apparently misleading) INFO message that there was no JAI support since it was "not present at build time." i think we can agree that that message is misleading, since fop.jar most assuredly has compiled-in JAI support, there's just no JAI on the CLASSPATH. a better INFO message might be, "JAI classes not found, using Jimi instead." anyway, i think i've flogged this sufficiently. rday --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
