It would be nice to start integrating up to date patch from the famous
issue #2469 in fop so that Debian user get the feeling that auto table
layout is finally supported in fop:

I had a go at this, using the Debian fop git repository from
<URL: https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/fop.git >.

The patch applied with minimal manual work (two files had changed slightly),
but the code do not build.  This is the build failure:

    [javac] /home/pere/src/debian/fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/servlet/FopServlet.java:99: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac]         transFactory.setAttribute(javax.xml.XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD, "");
    [javac]                                                         ^
    [javac]   symbol:   variable ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD
    [javac]   location: class XMLConstants
    [javac] /home/pere/src/debian/fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/servlet/FopServlet.java:100: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac]         transFactory.setAttribute(javax.xml.XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_STYLESHEET, "");
    [javac]                                                         ^
    [javac]   symbol:   variable ACCESS_EXTERNAL_STYLESHEET
    [javac]   location: class XMLConstants

I see from <URL: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxp/properties/properties.html >
these were new in JAXP 1.5, but fail to understand why they are not available when
building with javac in jdk 10. :(

Any ideas.  My refreshed patch is attached.  Add it to debian/patches/ and list it in series
to give it a go yourself.

I tried building in Debian Stable with JDK 8, and here it worked. :/

Control: tags -1 - patch

I'll upload 2.3 soon to unstable, so removing the tag patch since it
does not apply anymore.

Would you be willing to carry an updated patch in Debian before it is
applied upstream?
