Thanks for clarifying this Chris. I wasn't certain whether Glen was referring to FOP *development* requiring Java 1.4 SDK or FOP *deployment* requiring 1.4. It appears you are thinking he's referring to *deployment* as well, so my thought process isn't totally off-base. FOP requires Java 1.2.x

It's probably not *yet* time to set 1.4 as the JDK to code against for 1.0, but it probably wouldn't be much of a disaster if we did so either. By the time 1.0 is release-ready, 90% will either be on 1.4 or will be upgrading to 1.4 along with the upgrade of FOP 0.20.x to 1.0. The remaining 10% ca
