Hi Arved,

I noticed this too. But then I discovered that hyphen.fo worked
perfectly from the command line! It took me some time (longer than it
should have), but I finally traced the problem to the fact that the
runtests.sh has builtools.jar before the fop.jar in the CLASSPATH. It
turns out my buildtools.jar (and probably a lot of other people's too)
is out of date and contains an old version of HyphenationTree.class.
When I rebuilt buildtools.jar (or put fop.jar in front of it), hyphen.fo
is fine. 

Cheers,
Karen

OK, these all sound like things that will get tackled in FOP-0.19.1. My 
apologies for the CHANGES file...I knew there was something I missed.

Incidentally, I have an idea for something that one person can tackle, and 
it doesn't involve intimate knowledge of layout, and it won't be heavily 
affected by layout changes. And it's not make-work. Namely, a GUI interface 
to FOP.

You've maybe seen the AntennaHouse XSL Formatter? Worth checking out if you 
haven't. I have to grudgingly admit that this is darned handy, and I'm sure 
that a lot of users would like this kind of graphical interface to FOP.

So this is something maybe to interest you.

Arved

Hi, Eugene

Can you elaborate? :-) Because I did not observe anything of the kind.

Bear in mind that there are 2 things you can do:

1) increase your JVM memory allocation (how to do this is in the API docs 
for the JDK tools);

2) use the file buffering supplied by Seshadri GK and now part of FOP; use 
your typical command-line, and add a "-buf buffer_file" switch. That is,

java -cp $CLASSPATH -buf mybuffer.buf -fo fofile -pdf pdffile

or something similar.

Please let us know the circumstances that led to the Out of Memory, and your 
machine parameters.

Arved Sandstrom

The dist looks great!! Especially tables and borders!

Few small things that I noted were

- runtests.bat has some conflicts in it causing a small "bad command or 
filename" msg
- docs/examples has a few .runtests* files there
- the changes file doesn't list 0.18 -> 0.19

I was also wondering what needs to be done regarding the Avalon and FOP 
integration (I'm bored and looking for something to do ;) ).


Thanks

Daniel
