I just signed up for this list, because I would like to start contributing to PDFBox. Actually, I'd like to attack the problem with the broken constructor:
PDPixelMap(PDDocument doc, BufferedImage awtImage) In the comment I read: "This method is broken and needs to be implemented, any takers?" My answer to this question is: Yes why not, I'll give it a try.. We are using PDFBox in our prepress product, and I'd like to be able to create a lossless image directly from a PDF without having to go through JAI. But before I start I have 2 questions: 1: Who is the current developer with the most knowledge about this bug? I'd like to get as much information about the problem as possible. 2: I am using Eclipse for development, and checked out trunk through SVN, but when letting it build through Eclipse auto build I stumble across all the missing outside dependencies. I understand that using Maven makes feature selection very simple, but can this be controlled from inside Eclipse? for example by installing the Maven plugin? Does anybody have any experience with building/debugging the PDF core with Eclipse?
