Hello Do not know exactly the person that is responsible for such issue as mine. So I decided to write to fop-dev. Our company has been sucessfully using FOP for several years. As our customers required extended functionality and FOP had several bugs and restrictions, 3 years ago we created our

Devs, I'd like to have your thoughts about the following proposal. MathML and barcodes are frequently asked for and I would consider it a service to our users if we provided support for both out-of-the-box without people having to scratch together the little pieces to make this stuff work. JEuclid

It all sounds good to me. I was one of those asking for batik-less FOP, since I needed to output PDF from a headless system (I think we ended up using the Postscript renderer, and cat'ing it to the printer...). I also welcome the thought of additional XML Graphics projects. Not so much for the

Another thing, that I'd like to bring up. We're approaching a state where FOP Trunk code is usable for more serious use cases. The important FOs are all implemented.

I was not so much thinking about additional XML Graphics projects. Bringing Barcode4J here was on my mind, but not lately. I'm not sure if it would be a good fit as it doesn't exclusively have to do the converting XML to graphical output. That's only one use case. Generating barcodes as bitmap imag

I don't know of any such convention. I've seen various variants: rc, beta, previews etc. I think we're free to choose. Starting with a couple of preview releases would IMO be good to inform people that the release is not supposed to be used in production, yet. A release candidate is more like a pr

The thought of having a release from the TRUNK branch is very exciting. I agree that releasing as 0.9rc1 (or 0.9b1, since we may not yet be at release candidate stage or 0.9xx1) makes sense, and tells the world we've moved past the 0.20.5 stage, which our project and community desperately needs

Having MathML and barcode support is a good thing. But I am not very enthousiastic about the goal of providing support for both out-of-the-box. Scratching pieces of functionality together and integrating them is a different role than developing an application. I am a Debian Linux user, and an advoc

I understand your concerns but we should make it as easy as possible for beginners. There are a lot of them, many knowing almost nothing about Java and classpaths. The beauty with these extensions is that they can easily be deleted when not used. No rebuild necessary. On 26.07.2005 21:45:33 Simon

The question seemed to fit in this list rather than fop-users: I've checked out the fop trunk and tried to build it with JDK 1.3, however that doesn't seem to work (getting a number of compile errors on among other things, java.awt.Color) Is the trunk known to require JDK1.4 or higher, if not, w

Manuel, thanks for grabbing this. I think the easiest thing will be to recreate what was in 0.20.5. It doesn't offer very much and I have a better overall mechanism in mind (as a long-term solution) but for the moment it is easiest to do that. Here's what I would do: - Copy over FormattingResults

Until we decide otherwise, FOP is still targeted at JDK 1.3 but you're right it currently doesn't compile. Nobody took the time, yet, to make it compile under 1.3. It's on my list of things but there are so many little things still to do. If you could try to fix it and send a patch that would be ab
