I grabbed the latest FOP trunk from svn, but it still seems to have Sun 
dependencies.  Ant spent a while
crunching with gij, then:

    BUILD FAILED
    /home/ellson/FIX/Linux.x86_64/build/fop/trunk/build.xml:368: Unable 
to find a javac compiler;
    com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
    Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

I don't know anything about java development, so I don't understand why 
it couldn't find the
javac that is in /usr/bin/javac.

I set "JAVA_HOME=/usr"    Is that reasonable on Fedora?  It says to 
point it at the JDK.  What JDK?

(I'm up to date with today's rawhide.)
