Re: FOPNGSerializer (Update Forrest to FOP-0.9)

We're trying to improve the forrest PDF output (see below),
most notably resolve
FOR-413: "PDF: rendering fails when graphics too big"
https://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.
