PDF generation in Java

[<jim_garrett@xxxxxxxx>]

I have searched the cinjug archives and found information regarding Java 
frameworks used to facilitate the creation of PDF files and found that several 
of you have leveraged the Apache/Jakarta FOP framework to do so.   For those 
who have done this, was there another tool used to facilitate the creation of 
the XSL files containing the FOP tags?  From the surface this appears to be a 
very difficult task in that the FOP tags are very cumbersome to use.  Is there 
an easy way to accomplish this.

thanks in advance for any help
