| |
| What is Apache XML Graphics Commons? |
| --------------------------------------- |
| |
| It is a place where the Apache Batik and Apache FOP share commonly used |
| components. Many components in here are also usable and useful stand-alone. |
| |
| Documentation |
| --------------------- |
| |
| The documentation can be found under: |
| http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/ |
| |
| Where to get help? |
| --------------------- |
| |
| Please subscribe to the general@xmlgraphics.apache.org mailing list by sending |
| an empty mail to general-subscribe@xmlgraphics.apache.org. All you questions |
| about XML Graphics Commons will be answered there. |
| |
| Please report bugs to JIRA at http://issues.apache.org/jira/ (project |

| |
| How do I build Apache XML Graphics Commons? |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| |
| If you've downloaded a binary distribution of Apache FOP or Apache Batik, |
| you don't need to build XML Graphics Commons. It is distributed with these |
| two products. |
| |
| Otherwise, install Apache Ant (http://ant.apache.org) and run "ant" from the |
| command-line in the directory where you find "build.xml". |
