A

The main class to run FOP as an standalone application is org.apache.fop.cli.Main. "cli" is the abbreviation of "command line interface". Here is how to start org.apache.fop.cli.Main with the "java" command:

fyicenter> cd \local\fop-2.2\fop

fyicenter> java -cp build\fop.jar 
   org.apache.fop.cli.Main -imagein examples\fo\graphics\linux.bmp 
   \temp\linux.pdf

... org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent
INFO: Rendered page #1.

The above command uses FOP to convert an image file in BMP format into a PDF directly.

The output PDF file is located at \temp\linux.pdf. Open it with a PDF viewer, you will see something like this:
