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 bugzilla at http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/
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".
