Well, I've figured out enough of Jython to compile the parser into a jar file, and I can now pluck (without images) using only Java 1.2. To tell you the truth, I'm flabbergasted that this stuff works this well.
Here's what a typical command line looks like: java -classpath plucker-build.jar pluckit \ -V 2 -H http://www.parc.com/ --bpp=0 -N "PARC Home Page" -p ~/temp -f PARCHomePage The output is exactly what you'd get if you replaced the first part with plucker-build. And the resultant Plucker doc displays fine with 1.1.13. Astounding. The only problem I've found so far is that document names longer than 20 characters don't work, apparently because of a bug in the Jython Java code. I've put the jar file out for ftp, if you'd like to try it, at ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/transient/janssen/plucker-build.jar.; Invoke it as shown above, i.e. java -classpath JARFILE pluckit PLUCKER-BUILD-ARGS I'm using JDK 1.2 on Solaris; your milage may vary with other Javas. Next step is to integrate JIU into this nightmare... Bill
