Yes, it is needed for IKVM.  But I was just informed that the IKVM build is
considered an unsupported 3rd-party version.

As far as I can tell, it is also needed for the TestPDFToImage junit test.
That is the testimage target in the ant build.

The TestPDFToImage is excluded from the build, probably because it produces different results depending on the java version, installed fonts, etc. However I have been using the test for quite some time to find regressions, and made many improvements in it in the trunk (for example, a diff image is produced). I currently have (locally) 480 PDF files and their renderings. It is the most important regression testing tool for rendering. It has detected many regessions.

Re IKVM - I don't remember any decision that it is no longer supported. It's rather that (apparently) none of the very active committers uses it.


Btw, I DID get the ant build to produce a working version of PDFBox
yesterday.  I simply needed to download the appropriate binaries from the
maven repo.

Shouldn't there be some appropriate error message? Btw what version did work yesterday - the 1.8 or the 2.0 version? The person having the problems was using 2.0. But he wasn't using IKVM.

I've never used it.

Isn't it needed for the users of IKVM ?

Based on discussions on the users lists, it looks like our ant build
doesn’t actually produce working builds of PDFBox. I think we should remove
the ant build in 2.0, we don’t need two build systems, and clearly none of
us are maintaining it.

WDYT?
