The attached zipfile contains what I am using, and a simple example book. This assumes you have all the necessary jars in your classpath, ant is set up, etc.. You would type:

ant -buildfile xalan.xml -Ddocbook=C:\docbook-xsl-1.49 -Dbook=example

for xalan, and

ant -buildfile saxon.xml -Ddocbook=C:\docbook-xsl-1.49 -Dbook=example

for saxon. This will build HTML and PDF output (using Fop). There are some (sparse) comments in the build files, but they should get you started anyway.

Ant is pretty much a "Java Make", but that doesn't do it proper justice. Read http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/intro.html for the whole deal.

As it's written in Java, simply pick your favorite JVM.

As to it's ability to process DocBook, that seems to be more dependant on the underlying processors' ability to do their jobs. So far, I haven't had a whole lot of luck with this. By "this" I mean using the native Ant calls, rather than simply "exec'ing" the code itself.

Not that using exec is bad, just I'd prefer to learn the "Ant way" of doing things.

If I ever get it all working, I'll post a Jar file :)

Now you've all got me curious :-) I'm off to do some more reading.

Tks for the input. Regards DaveP
