Re: [docbook-apps] fop 0.9 on Ubuntu with Java2 SDK1.5 Sun

["Chris Chiasson" <chris@chiasson.name>]

I am using a (set of) masked gentoo ebuild(s) that has (have) a fop
script which collects the proper classpath by querying java at runtime
(many gentoo shell scripts that call java programs do this, so this
isn't very special...).

anyway, here is the call it ends up issuing - maybe that will give you
an idea of the correct syntax:

exec "/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/bin/java" -classpath
"/usr/share/commons-io-1/lib/commons-io.jar:/usr/share/commons-logging/lib/commons-logging.jar:/usr/share/commons-logging/lib/commons-logging-api.jar:/usr/share/avalon-framework-4.2/lib/avalon-framework.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-dom.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-ttf2svg.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-transcoder.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-squiggle.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-util.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-css.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-ext.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-awt-util.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/resolver.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-parser.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-gui-util.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-slideshow.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/which.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-svgpp.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-xml.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-rasterizer.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-svg-dom.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-gvt.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-all.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-bridge.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-svggen.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-extension.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-script.jar:/usr/share/batik-1.6/lib/batik-swing.jar:/usr/share/jeuclid/lib/jeuclid.jar:/usr/share/fop/lib/mathml-fop.jar:/usr/share/fop/lib/fop.jar:."
org.apache.fop.cli.Main "foo.fo" "foo.pdf"

if you want to know how to dynamically build a classpath, try this
command (or similar):

java-config -p 'batik-1.6,fop'

the arguments given to the command are (in my case) comma delimited
directory names under /usr/share/ where these packages are installed

good luck
