    As part of our company's open source efforts we have made our Ant-based
    DocBook 5 publishing tool chain available as an open source project at
    http://forgedp.fusesource.org/.

    It includes the 1.75.1 style sheets, Saxon 6.x, FOP 1.0, and a basic
    customization layer all prepackaged and ready to use. There are also Ant
    build scripts and a sample library set up. Currently PDF and XHTML are
    the two formats with the best support in the tool chain. We have added
    stuff to generate Eclipse help and Epub, but those pieces have not been
    pushed on too hard.

    Currently missing is the Ant build file to build an entire library, but
    that should be added pretty soon.

    Feel free to use it, make suggestions for improvements, or volunteer to
    help out.
