FOP README

What is FOP?
FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting
objects. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object
tree conforming to the XSL 1.0 Recommendation (15 October 2001) and
then turns it into a PDF document or allows you to preview it
directly on screen.

FOP is part of Apache's XML Graphics project. The homepage of FOP is
http://xml.apache.org/fop. Our resources page is at
http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html.

Please report bugs to bugzilla at http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/

A mailing list for how to use FOP is at fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org
(subscribe by sending an empty mail to
fop-users-subscribe@xmlgraphics.apache.org)

Before you post any questions, please have a look at the FAQ at

Instructions for building FOP from source code:

FOP uses Apache Ant as its build system. You can download Apache Ant
from http://ant.apache.org.

Ant installation instructions:
1. Download and install Ant
2. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the directory where you've
placed Ant.
3. Add "%%ANT_HOME%%\bin" to your PATH so the "ant.bat" batch file
can be executed from wherever needed.
4. (optional) Download JUnit and place junit-*.jar in %%ANT_HOME%%\lib.
This enables the JUnit test cases.

After Ant is installed, you can build FOP simply by navigating to
the FOP base directory and typing "ant".
