  • 1.  Docbook XSL and FOP 2.0

    Posted 06-29-2015 23:19
    Hello

    I have tried to update our production documentation system to FOP 2.0 but
    in doing so I discovered a little problem that prevented the use of FOP 2.0.
    I get an exception and cannot get around it without recompiling with a
    fix. (See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2461 )

    I am interested in other people's experience in using FOP 2.0. In your
    experience, is it really ready for prime time? Are you using it successfully?


    I'm using the 1.78.1 stylesheets with Docbook 4.5.

    Regards,
    Dean Nelson

    Hi Dean,

    If it's worth anything, I stumbled upon the same problem when converting
    DITA to PDF using Apache FOP 2.0 (the bug I posted was marked as a
    duplicate as yours):

    > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2479

    After I made a patch to guard the NPE I successfully translated our
    user's manual's 1000+ pages to PDF.
    But that left me with a bitter test of the initial Apache FOP 2.0 encounter.

    I will probably wait for 2.1 before I integrate it into our product
    (Oxygen XML Editor).

    Regards,

    I see that emerge on gentoo wants me to upgrade:

    [ebuild NS ] dev-java/fop-2.0 [1.1] USE="jai -doc -examples -hyphenation -source {-test}"

    Given the concerns expressed here, that might be a little rash.
