Worked perfectly for me.  I'm running Java 1.3.1 on windows 2000.  I
dropped the jar file and the jython files into my c:\program files\plucker
directory.  I had to modify the command line a little to be:

java -classpath plucker-build.jar pluckit -V 2 -H http://www.parc.com/
--bpp=0 -N "PARC Home Page" -f PARCHomePage -P ./ -M 1

this also works

java -jar plucker-build.jar -V 2 -H http://www.parc.com/ --bpp=0 -N "PARC
Home Page" -f PARCHomePage -P ./ -M 1

I don't think you need the jython file since it doesn't seem to be used
(i.e. I didn't have to reference it in the classpath for running it).

Nice work Bill.

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
