fop 0.20.5 pom was provided by Joerg Schaible
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-386
That was at the point we allowed changing poms in the repo, now it is
not possible to change that pom.
Please create new threads for any other related questions, this one is
becoming unmanageable.
I'm now starting a new thread about the repository policy.

Reproducability! If we deploy our final release to an app server that is
compliant to the spec in this way, well, then it breaks. Now consider a we get
back a bug report, the assigned developer checks out the version and tries to
debug it ... and since he gets now suddenly a different FOP cannot reproduce
the error. *THIS IS MAINTENACE NIGHTMARE*! And that's why a final release must
never change. If we build a mainenance release including fop-0.20.5-mvn-1 it is
obvious that we use a different version and that *new* version is supposed to
fix the problem.
Therefore the only way to fix the repo is to release something new. Andf the
right thing is to have a new version with a jar that does not have a classpath
entry in the manifest! If you have two artfiacts with such entries referencing
the same dep in different version, you cannot even build an EAR with Maven
containing both libraries.

No good. I've known too many Spaniards.
