 Another potential for saving space are the included jars

btw, what about crimson parser? Its jar is only about 200Kb and it's 
apache also.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] FOP 0.20.4 Release Candidate available

2002-06-24 Thread Keiron Liddle

Hi all,

I was just wondering why the distributions are so large and also larger
than the previous release.
The src release contains the generated html and javadocs which is about
an extra 2.5Mb compressed (18Mb uncompressed).

The bin release contains the xml-docs and the html-docs, ant.jar and the
hyphenation xml files. This adds about 1.25Mb to the compressed size.
I know there are reasons for this but is it that useful. The ant jar is
only to convert some fo files. The hyph and xml-docs are there for
reference I suppose.
It would seem to me we could make the dists a bit smaller so it is
easier to download and use.

Yes,
   The file is so large and takes hours to download. It can
be distributed by dicritizing the elements of FOP package.

So that it can downloaded when required.

 The namespace declaration is indeed missing. I'm currently
 reworking some parts of the examples, I'll fix this too. This
 will take one or two more days though.

I've already fixed this particular problem.

 It works fine, just two things:
 
   1) If baseDir is set for example to /opt/fop, FOP doesn't
  add / at the end of baseDir as other systems commonly does,
  so you can start use path for fonts like this:
 
font metrics-file=../fop-fonts/arial-regular.xml 
  kerning=yes 
  embed-file=../fop-fonts/arial-regular.ttf
  font-triplet name=Arial style=normal weight=normal/
/font

Good point, I'll add this.

 
 
   2) It would be nice, if baseDir can be set like Java property
  on the command line, for example:
 
java -cp $FOP_CP -DbaseDir=/opt/fop org.apache.fop.apps.Fop a.fo
 
  Then there won't be any absolute paths in userconfig.xml.

This should be considered for the configuration handling for the redesign

 I have one more question. Will there be any improvements with
 implementation of last-line-end-indent property in 0.20.4? 
 DocBook stylesheets use it for generating TOC and without this
 property it doesn't look nice.

Yes I know the problem but there has been no fix yet
(it's still on my todo list)

Thanks for your feedback.

 Changes since 0.20.3 include:

 - Support for background-image
 - FOP should now work with any JAXP1.1 compliant parser/transformer
 - The following JARs have been updated: Xerces to version 2.0.1, Xalan
to version 2.3.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta2.
 - Fop has been compiled with Jimi support
 - Logging has been changed from LogKit to Avalon's Logger Interface
 - New hyphenation patterns: turkish, portuguese and czech
 - FOP should now work on a EBCDIC maschine
 - Support for comma-separated values for the font-family property
 - Russian and Czech messages for AWTViewer

 For details see CHANGES file:
 http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/CHANGES?rev=1.10.2.19


 Feedback/bugreports are welcome especially (but of course not limited)
 for the following issues:

 - compiling FOP with Jdk1.4 under Windows

On Linux with Sun J2SDK 1.4.0_01 it compiles fine.

 - running FOP on a EBCDIC maschine
 - running FOP from Win98/ME command line
 - processing FOP generated PDFs with RIP engines/preflight (?) tools
 - custom font loading with BaseDir property

 Needs to be done for the release:
 - check documentation (new jar versions, classpath etc.)
 - anything missing in Release Notes/CHANGES ?
   (apart from fixing my english ;-)

implementation of last-line-end-indent property in 0.20.4?
