Fop missing Ant?
I just downloaded FOP 0.20.5 and I am trying to run the servlet example and
I am getting an "NoClassDefFoundError" error. When the build.bat runs, it
references a JAR called "Ant-1.5.1.jar" under the lib directory. When I go
to that directory, there is no "Ant-1.5.1.jar" file present. I have read in
several places that the "Ant-1.5.1.jar" should be packaged with FOP. What's
the deal? I know I am overlooking something. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello Jeremias, Sir Strongbad,
Maybe it's a lot less trouble if Sir just downloads the Ant distro,
places the necessary jar(s) in the lib dir, and adjusts the file names
in the batch file...

FOP 0.20.5 came out before JDK 1.5. That's why you get errors. If you
compile FOP with JDK 1.3.1 or 1.4.2 it will build just fine.
Alternatively, you can download the maintenance branch of FOP directly
from Subversion [1]. The code there supports building under JDK 1.5 if
I'm not mistaken.
The alternative is to upgrade to FOP 0.91beta, of course.

I'm being dumb. Ant is only bundled in the source distribution. In the
binary distribution you don't need it. Normally. Only if you want to
build the servlet example, you need it. I guess Sir Strongbad should
download the source distribution and go from there.

That's strange - I have a FOP download here (fop-0.20.5-bin.zip) and
there's definitely no Ant inside.
Afaict I made the download on 10 Jun 2004. All the files are
timestamped 15 Jul 2003 4:04.

Something doesn't feel right here. FOP 0.20.5 DOES bundle Ant 1.5.1
(found in the lib directory). Only since FOP 0.90 alpha 1 do we require
that Apache Ant is preinstalled. Anyway it's a good idea to install the
latest Apache Ant and to use "ant" on the command-line instead of "build".

No, you're not. FOP 0.20.5 does not come with Ant. You have to get
that separately at http://ant.apache.org. You may also have to
download some of the other tools.
BTW, the build.bat references really old lib versions. You need to
change the filenames to match what you download (the names don't
usually include version numbers).
Good luck,
Paul Vinkenoog
