Hi Luis, great that you are looking into the FOP build failure.

Gump builds fontbox from trunk - and I've just added it for FOP as the pdfbox project didn't express interest in Gump. What you get is /srv/gump/public/workspace/pdfbox/fontbox/target/fontbox-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar as you can see in the CLASSPATH definition of <http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/xml-fop/xml-fop/gump_work/build_xml-fop_xml-fop.html> So in this is not a case of a missing dependency but rather a case of your dependency breaking backwards compatibility. This is why FOP participates in Gump, finding such problems before they get into a release. Given that you are requesting a 1.x version and fontbox by now is at 2.x breaking backwards compatibility may be fine for fontbox. Then again your dependency is a -SNAPSHOT anyway, you could probably jump to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Having no insight into either FOP or fontbox I won't judge. >From the top of my head I see the following options: * you adapt FOP to deal with (and require) fontbox 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT instead * you lobby fontbox to bring back the APIs you depend on * you find a way to use fontbox that works with 1.8 and 2.0 * Gump builds fontbox from a branch other than trunk Cheers Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@gump.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@gump.apache.org
