FOP 0.14 and Cocoon 1.7.4 (NullPointerException in FOP 0.14

[Alexander Weinmann <aw...@bct-technology.com>]

Hello everybody,

I have problems getting 1.7.4 work together with FOP 0.14. 
( Cocoon 1.7.4 uses FOP 0.12 by default)


FOP 0.14 has interesting new features missing in 0.12. So if anybody
else is interested in that and has some experience. Tell me.

I can give you the stack trace that Cocoon gives me when I try
to replace fop 0.12 by fop 0.14  :
