xsltproc

I tracked down the problem on a different machine. It seems that
'kaffe' is not able to handle apache's fop. On a different machine
I get with 'kaffe':

[INFO]: FOP 0.20.3
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.fop.apps.Service.providers(Driver.java:586)
        at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.setupDefaultMappings(Driver.java:307)
        at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.<init>(Driver.java:201)
        at org.apache.fop.apps.CommandLineStarter.run(CommandLineStarter.java:58)
        at org.apache.fop.apps.Fop.main(Fop.java:19)

with blackdown java everything works fine. Unfortunately there's only kaffe
on the machine at work and I've no root access ;-(

Are there any other fop converters except the one by apache?
