Hi,
I have posted a candidate for the first Apache release of JempBox
as an Apache toplevel project. The candidate can be found at
http://people.apache.org/~lehmi/pdfbox/jempbox
See the RELEASE-NOTES-1.0.0.txt file (also included at the end of this
message) for details on release contents. The release candidate is a
jar archive of the sources in
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/jempbox/tags/1.0.0
The MD5 checksum of the jempbox-1.0.0-src.jar release package
is 87 48 52 77 59 46 02 87 30 35 CF 63 7A 82 E1 40.
Please vote on releasing this package as Apache JempBox 1.0.0
The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of at
least three +1 PDFBox PMC votes is reached.
[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache JempBox 1.0.0
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...
With the source release I have also included a pre-compiled jar file.
The Maven POM file from the source release is also included so that we
can deploy the released jar to the central Maven repository if the
release vote passes.
Here's my +1.
BR
Andreas Lehmkühler
Release Notes -- Apache JempBox -- Version 1.0.0
Introduction
------------
Apache JempBox is an open source Java library for working with XMP metadata.
This 1.0.0 release is the first JempBox release made after the graduation from
incubating at the Apache Software Foundation. The most notable changes since the
previous release (0.8.0-incubating) are the upgrade to Java 5 and the switch
from ant to maven as build tool.
See the Apache PDFBox website at http://pdfbox.apache.org/ for more information.
Release Contents
----------------
This release consists of a source archive (jempbox-1.0.0-src.jar).
You can build the release with Apache Maven like this:
jar xf jempbox-1.0.0-src.jar
cd jempbox-1.0.0
maven clean install
The source archive is accompanied by SHA1 and MD5 checksums and a PGP
signature that you can use to verify the authenticity of your download.
The public key used for the PGP signature can be found at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/KEYS.
