Subject:Problem with FOP plugin (SS2008) Author:Robert Geite Date:22 Mar 2010 06:34 AM
I haven't used SS2008 for over a year, and had to do a new clean install, I must have forgotten how to configure FOP properly.
Every time I run a scenario which is configured to use FOP as post-processor I am prompted to "Install additional components": "In order to activate the Apache FOP, Stylus Studio needs to download...".
I press OK, after a progress bar is sliding around for a while. After that I get a Vista-security alert that an unidentified program wants access (StylusAdmin.exe) to run, and I Allow it to do so.
This immediately (seems like StylusAdmin.exe works very fast, or not at all) leeds to a PDF file of zero size.
In the output window the following error is present:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/apps/Fop
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.fop.apps.Fop
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
... etc
Could not find the main class: org.apache.fop.apps.Fop. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main" ...post processing finished
I tried copying a FOP installation to the folder plugins\FOP, but with the same result.
It's probably something simple I forgot, but what?
