FOP with jimi
Hallo
Here is the link to the release notes
http://xml.apache.org/fop/relnotes.html
In the release notes of the version 0.20.3 there is following text:
Jimi has been removed for licensing reasons
If you need PNG support you have to download Jimi
<http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/>, copy it to lib/ and build FOP yourself
I download the file "jimi1_0.zip" and copy it to lib/.
How can i build FOP by myself?
version 0.20.4 :
Fop has been compiled with Jimi support this time but you still have
to download Jimi <http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/> and copy it to lib/ to
get PNG support (no need to build FOP yourself though).
I download the file "jimi1_0.zip" and copy it to lib/.
When running FOP following error uccurs:
Error while creating area : Error creating FopImage object
(file:rating.png) : Jimi image library not available
Why?
i hope you can help
Martin

Yes, it works here. Are you absolutely sure your classpath is ok?
Because if fop.bat works it's the only thing that can still go wrong.
You need fop.jar, batik-blah.jar, avalon-framework-blah.jar and
jimi-1.0.jar.

Yes, that's how it is supposed to work.
I've just done the following:
1. Extract the source distribution version 0.20.5rc2
2. Put jimi-1.0.jar in the lib directory
3. called "build clean"
4. called "build"
5. used fop.bat to transform a XSL-FO file referencing a PNG graphic to
PDF (fop -fo pngtest.fo -pdf pngtest.pdf)
It worked.

Why do you use version 0.20.3? It's pretty old already.
How are you running FOP? Using fop.bat? If yes, open fop.bat in an ASCII
editor and check if the name for the JIMI library in the classpath
matches the name under which the JIMI library is in your lib directory.
It's most likely that due to the filename you don't have the JIMI
library in the classpath at runtime.

Sorry for not being clear enough. The build is only available in the
source distribution. You're obviously using the binary distribution.
Anyway, in the binary distribution support for JIMI is already built-in
so no recompile is necessary. Did you try renaming JIMI as I suggested?

In the root directory of the FOP distribution, call "build clean"
followed by "build". Substitute "build" by "./build.sh" on unix.

If you use fop.bat it should work. If not make sure the library is in
the classpath. Renaming jimi1_0.zip to jimi.jar could help, too.
