errors like this have nothing to do with java.  you're being told that
your version of FOP doesn't support certain features.  you can check
what's implemented and what isn't here:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-section

note how "background-position" is *not* implemented in the current
stable version of FOP, but *is* implemented in the current beta
version.  you might want to try the beta version and see how many of
these errors go away.
