John Hewson updated PDFBOX-1962:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0
> Refactor the packages in the core pdfbox module
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-1962
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1962
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> We want to refactor the core pdfbox module packages so that there is no
> longer a dependency on AWT. Any packages which are moved outside the of the
> org.apache.pdfbox module need to be re-packaged appropriately (e.g.
> org.apache.pdfbox.rendering).
> AWT code could live in "pdfbox-rendering" but we need to think carefully
> about how to do this because, e.g. some of the Filters use AWT, as does
> FontBox.
> What are the use cases for modularisation, currently we have:
> - Android
> - Google App Engine
> Android seems to have some support for AWT and ImageIO, can somebody in the
> know provide more information?
> Google App Engine seems to blacklist ImageIO and AWT classes. Is there a
> strong desire to support it?
> Also, as Fred discussed on the mailing list the "util" package functionality
> is shared across numerous parts of the code but most classes are either used
> only from one package or can be replaced with new Java 1.6 constructs. By the
> end of this refactoring the pdfbox.util package should be mostly empty,
> containing only a handful of true utility classes.
