Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook XSL and FOP 2.0
Radu,

That says a lot! It seems like a simple fix to me. I wonder why they let it 
out of the gate that way? That's a major bug.

 

I will probably wait as well since I have no interest in maintaining a 
patch in our system and the time between FOP updates is usually quite a long 
time.

 

Thanks for your input!

Hi 
  Dean,

If it's worth anything, I stumbled upon the same problem when 
  converting 
DITA to PDF using Apache FOP 2.0 (the bug I posted was marked 
  as a 
duplicate as yours):

> 
  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2479

After I made a patch to 
  guard the NPE I successfully translated our 
user's manual's 1000+ pages to 
  PDF.
But that left me with a bitter test of the initial Apache FOP 2.0 
  encounter.

I will probably wait for 2.1 before I integrate it into our 
  product 
(Oxygen XML Editor).

Regards,
Radu
