Thanks I'd suggest helping with the proposed/in progress major rewrite using Java that the team is working on. FOP is a critical project and a very difficult one from what I can see so spliting the community of developers is probably not a good idea. Did you know that most people can only use passiveTex or jade or one of these tools for a real docbook tool chain? FOP needs alot of work but the team here has one beautiful start at least in their evolving knowledge. Other than there being no truely free 1.2 or 1.3 Java VM, I could see no reason to create a C/C++ version.

Thanks My first suggestion is to ask yourself why?. What earthly reason could you have for requiring a C++ implementation? Secondly: how well do you know the exisitng FOP code? You do know that people are discussing a major re-write. Perhaps now is not the best time for it. Why not wait until FOP actually implements most of the spec... Thirdly - who would maintain it? We don't have enough developers as it is - so how would we get more to do a FOP-C++ ? Do we really want another parallel distribution to look after?

RE: JAVA to C/C++
Title: RE: java.lang.SecurityException: sealing violation Why not use JNI, or compile FOP into machine language rather than bytecode? Either should get you the result you want without the hassle of a re-write. If you're just interested in getting intimately familiar with the code, there's a host of issues which we'd welcome coding help with. -Steve -Original Message-From: Chris Leak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, July 02, 2001 11:17 AMTo: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Subject: JAVA to C/C++ I'm interested in converting FOP to C/C++.

A free software / open source C (or C++) implementation of the XSL Candidate Recommendation would certainly be a welcome addition. Any suggestions would be much appreciate. The only suggestion I would make is to make it a 'component' (COM/ActiveX, CORBA, GNOME, KDE, XPCOM, .NET, or whatever), just so that it can be used programmatically by many languages, VB, Delphi, Python, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. = Weiqi Gao [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?
