I assume either the FOP developers know why there's a circular reference
and have the resolution or they just use the compiled jars and ignore
the issue.
Just about the entire open source community disagrees with you.

If I try to compile fop source it says it requires ant.
If I download the source for ant and try to compile it says it requires
bsf.
If I download the source for bsf and try to compile it says it requires
jython.
If I download the source for jython and try to compile it says it
requires ant.
Hi Eric,
What operating system are you working on? You probably don't need to

Eric,
Unless you are working on Gentoo Linux, you should not even consider
this path. Just download ant. Ant, being a build tool, has a complex
bootstrap process. ant.apache.org will provide you with a zip file

As already mentioned by Mehdi and Benson, unless you are really serious about
debugging the Ant source code, it is probably preferable to only reference a
binary.

I've tried to reference a source project rather than a compiled jar

The annoying part of referencing the compiled jar is when I run from the
