------------------------------------------------------------------
Before posting a new request, I would like to think a bit about the possible
design. I have some OSGi background and I'm aware of the cost of properly using
classloaders, explicitly exporting classes, declaring dependencies...
Do we know why this OSGi-related problem was resolved by throwing an exception
instead of keeping the glyphlist_ext property intact and simply documenting -
use GlyphList.DEFAULT.addGlyphs(Properties) when working in OSGi or other
complex application server environment where you load PDFBOX classes (not just
instantiate objects) possibly multiple times with different configurations?

> Key: PDFBOX-2379
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2379
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Assignee: John Hewson
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The system property "glyphlist_ext" used in GlyphList is not OSGI compatible
> (see PDFBOX-2358) as it loads resources from an external module. The
> mechanism is unsafe and should be replaced with a simple static method, e.g.
> GlyphList.addGlyphs(Properties).
