Re: FOPNGSerializer (Update Forrest to FOP-0.9)

/issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-413

Our first step would be to update Forrest so as to use the
new
FOP-0.9 rendering engine, i.e. FOP-NG and hope that some of
the
long-standing PDF bugs go away (e.g. [1,2,3])

It seems that this could be achieved by "simply"
replacing the
serialiser [5].

We installed and built Cocoon (2.2 as used by Forrest ?!)
but did
not find the FOP-NG jars (learning Maven, still).

Does anybody know how to build (these) specific jars?
And then: how to integrate into Forrest?
Is it really just replacing the jars and adding
"NG" as hinted in [5]?

Thanks,
Johannes

Hello Johannes, great to hear from you.
Lets hope we can get your PDF stuff integrated.

See my reply to Martin earlier in this thread
wherein i explained our Cocoon version situation.

Our Cocoon is not up-to-date so we cannot include
the more recent Cocoon fop Block.
