Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-587:
-------------------------------------------
PDFBox "officially" uses Java5 features, so that JDK5 is a minimum requirement.
With version 896671 I've updated the jempbox (-> 1.0.0) and the bouncycastle
(-> jdk15-1.44) jars in the build.xml and the pom.xml. Additionally I've bumped
the pdfbox version to 1.0.

> Key: PDFBOX-587
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-587
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
> Environment: development
> Reporter: Mel Martinez
>
> The build scripts for PDFBox currently depend on having an internet
> connection in order to build. This should be fixed so that the distribution
> can be built in cases where no internet connectivity is available.
> The purpose of the connectivity is to download various dependencies. For the
> most part that is fine. The scripts check for the existence of needed files
> and if not found retrieve them.
> So for most cases, simply manually pre-populating the /externals, /download
> and /tools folders with the needed files works just fine.
> The one place where the script still breaks is the dependency on the
> glyphlist.txt file which it looks for in the /target/classes/Resources
> folder. Since the initial 'clean' target at the start of the 'dist' build
> wipes out the 'target' folder, then that dependency never 'exists' and the
> build script will ALWAYS try to download that file and fail if there is no
> internet connection.
> The solution is fairly simple: That file should be downloaded first to the
> /downloads directory and then copied to the /target/classes/Resources
> directory. That allows you to manually seed the file into the /downloads
> directory and build without a connection.
> Fixing this in the build.xml script is very straightforward:
> line 115 should change
> from: <property name="adobefiles.glyph.txt"
> value="${dest.dir}/Resources/glyphlist.txt"/>
> to: <property name="adobefiles.glyph.txt"
> value="${download.dir}/glyphlist.txt"/>
> line 193 should have the following line inserted
> <copy todir="${dest.dir}/Resources/" file="${adobefiles.glyph.txt}"
> overwrite="true"/>
> That's it!
> To really do this nicely, it would be nice if all the downloads were first
> placed into /downloads and then copied to /externals, /tools, etc. , and that
> all such downloaded files were concisely documented or at least listed out in
> one place in the script so that one could know what to go retrieve manually.
> But just the above fix would be a major improvement.
> I know we are moving PDFBox to a Maven build, but unfortunately I still need
> to be able to build within a fairly restrictive environment.
> Thanks.
