         <echo message="------------------------------------------------------"/>
         <echo message="Downloading libraries required by the xsl-fo module"/>
         <echo message="------------------------------------------------------"/>
         
         <!-- Download the Apache FOP Processor from the Apache Web Site-->
         <get src="${include.module.xslfo.url}" dest="fop-1.0-bin.zip" verbose="true" usetimestamp="true" />
         <unzip src="fop-1.0-bin.zip" dest="${top.dir}/${lib.user}">
         <patternset>
         <include name="fop-1.0/build/fop.jar"/>
         <include name="fop-1.0/lib/batik-all-1.3.jar"/>
         <include name="fop-1.0/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar"/>
         </patternset>
         <mapper type="flatten"/>
         </unzip>
         <delete file="fop-1.0-bin.zip"/>
         </target>
