PDF generation does not utilise proxy settings for external resources

When you say "external ressources", you think images for example ?
I'll watch if it is possible to use a proxy with fop.

yes, this is what I meant

Can you reproduce it with "maven.pdf.debug=true" and send me te log please?
I searched on the net and didn't find this problem with FOP.

To generate the PDF for maven you can get round this problem replacing this properties :

maven.pdf.projectLogo=http://maven.apache.org/images/maven.gif
maven.pdf.companyLogo=http://maven.apache.org/images/asf_logo_wide_clear.gif

by :

maven.pdf.projectLogo=/images/maven.gif
maven.pdf.companyLogo=/images/asf_logo_wide_clear.gif

I don't know why everybody uses the absolute url.
It will be better because fop won't download images from the net but will use the local ones.

I found this on the net :
<java classname="org.apache.fop.apps.Fop" fork="true">

<jvmarg value="-DproxySet=$

"/>
<jvmarg value="-DproxyHost=$

"/>
<jvmarg value="-DproxyPort=$

"/>

<classpath refid="fop.classpath"/>
<arg line="-xml $

"/>
<arg line="-xsl $

/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
<arg value="$

"/>
</java>
If I use it in the plugin, is there someone who can test it ?

Must be fixed but I can't test it. If there's always a problem, we'll reopen it.
