Mel Martinez commented on PDFBOX-1214: -------------------------------------- +1 I am very much in favor of this change. Thanks! > Allow subclassing of PDFParser > ------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-1214 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1214 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Parsing > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: Timo Boehme > Assignee: Timo Boehme > Priority: Minor > Attachments: 2012-01-23_PDFParserProtected.patch > > > As a precondition of PDFBOX-1199 and other improvements implementing new ways > of parsing PDF documents using existing code base it is necessary that > subclasses of PDFParser can be created. While this is already possible with > the current version accessing some needed methods is prohibited by the > 'private' keyword. The attached patch changes this to 'protected'. > If there are no objections against the patch I will commit it in the next > days. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
