What it says: You forgot to specify the input file(s) for FOP.

Check the command-line you used. It should look like:

fop -fo somefile.fo -pdf somefile.pdf
fop -xml somefile.xml -xsl somefile.xsl -pdf somefile.pdf

If either the -fo switch or both the -xml and -xsl switch is unspecified, you get the above error.

Kind request: please direct this type of questions to fop-users@ in the future. 
A Bugzilla entry should be created only for genuine issues/bugs that result from a correct usage of FOP.
