Feature changed by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) Feature #309565, revision 4 Title: Hacking Apache FOP (learn some java)

Requested by: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger)

Description: Apache FOP is a great docbook to PDF renderer. Doc-team has found some strange limitations, some of them appear trivial to fix. E.g. some text simply does not appear on the cover. Unfortunatly, FOP is written in Java, and I have never looked at java code before. I'd like to create a development and debugging environment for FOP. Is there anybody interested to guide me into the world of Java, and join me in picking some of the low hanging fruits there?

+ Use Case: + know-how needed
