Was just kidding there --I meant more: the question was posed in a 'tricky' way; didn't really know whether I should be answering 'yes' or 'no'. Where it's a requirement to specify the path to the avalon jar when using the PFMReader, you don't need to do this when using FOP, so that would make it: yes. OTOH, as indicated, Avalon is needed for running FOP, so... no, it's not just a requirement when using the PFMReader (--still following? ;) ) Cheers, Andreas

Sounds like that note needs to be rewritten, although it's probably no big deal. (OT: I actually can't check my system, because I forgot my laptop at home today d'oh!

If so, would there be documentation for such contingencies? The current code relies on extensions of JRE core classes. I don't think this could be easily retrofittet to a pre 1.4 JRE, unless you *like* fiddling with the bootclasspath. J.Pietschmann

Yes, I think --and no, because Avalon is required for running FOP, even if you never use the PFMReader. Normally, you wouldn't run into trouble since the avalon jar is distributed with FOP and is by default included in the classpath that's set up by the fop.sh/fop.bat script. (My guess is you do have it installed... check your FOP/lib directory for that.) Cheers, Andreas
