The AWTRenderer for FOP uses JavaAWT as the rendering medium, as opposed to
PDF or any other "hard" output medium. The actual browser is not
sophisticated (at this stage of the game it runs once for each file), but
you can page back and forth, zoom in and out, and print.
The way things are set up right now, the AWTCommandLine class expects FO as
the input. It wouldn't take much to integrate XalanCommandLine (soon just
XSLTCommandLine once we get TRAX supported) and the AWTRenderer backend.
I suppose the main reason nobody has polished up this functionality is
because it is mostly a previewer, and FOP is not production yet. But the
thing works quite well.
