RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook/XML, done with Java

I am using Java and XML.  

Although I'm using Saxon, I've found it to be much faster then Xalan.  Using
FOP for PDF output, but it's kind of "broken" in a few places (like tables.)

The only "real" problem I've had, is that when processing big documents
(>2mb) the Java tools consume HUGE amounts of memory.  In fact I have to
increase the max heap allowed for the JVM to 512mb to do my PDFs.

>> My goal is to process our DocBook XML with an automatable Java tool.

Right now, I'm not using ANT, but just a series of Batch files to "automate"
the build process for a approx 1000 pages of content (DnD/d20 anyone?)
