Hi Sjur/Ross,
   I am using version 0.8 version of forrest.
   I changed the output.xmap in the installation of forrest 0.8 ie
C:\user\Installation\forrest\apache-forrest-0.8\plugins\org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf

This means that when I change computers/forrest versions, the application 
again doesnt work unless I remember to go and chande the installation 
plugins file.
So I am looking for a general way (for example in user's sitemap.xmap) where 
this setting could be done with properties and so application could move 
accross computers/higher versions.

 In earlier version of Forrest it could be done by editing the fo2pdf 
pipeline in the sitemap.xmap of the user.

Thanks
Praveen

You are using 0.9 right?

If so there is a new properties system, unfortunately it is not well
documented but you can see notes in

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-588

In particular the sub issue
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-734 links to the thread
http://marc.info/?l=forrest-dev&m=114170683324461&w=2 which tells you
how to do this in a scalable way.

As ever, pulling that out into a patch for our documentation would be
really helpful (don't worry about perfect, anything that is not hidded
in the issue tracker is an improvement).

Ross
