Perhaps it helps to rebuild FOP from source on your machine. Just download the src distrib and run build.bat. Would be interesting whether ant suffers from the same problem. If all else fails, remove the line throwing the exception in srv/org/apache/fop/apps/CommandLineOptions.java:268. I'll try to get my Win98 restored, but this is, well, labor intensive, and there are some more pressing problems right now. J.Pietschmann

It's actually too long for the good old DOS command line, but when I added the jar files to my CLASSPATH (before the existing entries) so that I wouldn't have to include their names on the command file and then tried the equivalent from the command line, I got the same result. >Is there some interference from some other Java executable >possible?

I'm not sure about 0.18, but 0.17 had a much simpler command line processing, in particular there was no check for unaccounted parameters which haunts us now. J.Pietschmann

Here you go...
C:\temp>java TestC red green blue
72 65 64
67 72 65 65 6E
62 6C 75 65
C:\temp>java TestC aaa aa a
61 61 61
61 61
61
Why wouldn't I have a problem using Fop-0.18.1-DEV if I'm using the same JVM
and Win98 command processor with that?
thanks,
Bob

The problem appears to be that the command line passed by
the Win98 command processor to the JVM contains some character
at the end which the JVM passes as additional parameter to
the Java code (possibly a CR).
This problem seems to be specific to the DOS based COMMAND.COM
included in Win95/98/ME and some JVM versions.
You could help by running the following test program with one
or two arbitrary parameters and post the output.
public class TestC {
static final char[] hex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7',
'8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};
static public void main(String[] arg) {
for( int i=0;i

I got the impression from another posting that getting jimi-1.0.jar would
fix it,
Hardly.

There is no workaround known to me, you'll have to experiment
by yourself a bit. Perhaps the problem goes away if you use
the command line from the batch file directly instead of the
file.
