Wrapping text around an image

I have an image at the beginning of a paragraph around which I want to wrap text. The image is not a figure (it's a photograph). The image "sticks up" from the text instead of being placed inline with it. In otherwords, I want the first line of the text to align with the top of the image. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

Wrapping text around an image is normally done with a side float. It cannot
be done with an inline image.   Is this HTML or FO output?  This page
describes side floats in printed output:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideFloats.html

This page from Antenna House describes how to do a drop cap with a side
float, which is similar to your need:

If you are using FOP, though, side floats are not yet supported.

error when running Eclipse to do docbook build. I can run this build file
fine from IBMs Rad7 but cannot run it on Eclipse (they should be similiar
and I have them running from the JRE.
Any thoughts as to why I am having this error?.

\buildhtml.xml
init:
generate-services:

Hmm. Solved it myself. Problem was the Ant Home for Eclipse Ganymede verion
was org.apache.net 1.7.0 and on Rad7 it was org.apache.net 1.6.5. Not too
sure why it would cause a problem but it did, I fixed and build is running
fine.
