[PATCH] fop.sh/bat should use java.endorsed.dirs

           Summary: [PATCH] fop.sh/bat should use java.endorsed.dirs
           Product: Fop
           Version: 1.0dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: spepping@leverkruid.nl


SDK 1.4.x comes with xerces and xalan built in. There are a few
methods to run one's own xerces and xalan. The java property
java.endorsed.dirs is a good method. This patch starts java with
java.endorsed.dirs defined pointing to ${FOP_HOME}/lib/endorsed.

To make this work, xerces.jar, xalan.jar and xml-apis.jar should be
moved to the new directory lib/endorsed in the distribution.  With the
patch fop.sh and fop.bat remain functional while these jar files are
in lib, but then it does not add functionality. I have tested fop.sh
on Linux.
