The extension performs syntax checking and color highlighting of various languages (JAVA, JSP, HTML, XML, SQL, HQL, EJBQL etc). It does not generate SVG, but produces FO where it changes the font attributes.
It extends the FObj and relies on the layout method to call an addText method for each token. I can't recall from which example I obtained the skeleton code (especially the addText method). Do you think it will be an easy transition? I have been postponing the move, but am aware that one day I will have to make it ;) -----Original Message----- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 May 2006 12:40 To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: LazyFont NullPointerException The extension API has been stable for a while. A few months ago I've added some additional gadgets I needed for Barcode4J. I don't expect any major changes anymore. Backwards-incompatible changes are highly unlikely, but no guarantees. So far, there's no documentation for writing extensions. I usually point people at Barcode4J as the prime example. :-) The examples directory in the distribution (MathML and plan extensions) can also help. The migration shouldn't be too difficult. A few things have changed but most of your custom code can stay the same. I'm pretty confident that you can do the migration in 2 or 3 hours max if your extension simply generates SVG. Now, I'm curious: What kind of extensions did you implement?
