That would of course be the best, as it would mean only one build
system, and still allow to create an IKVM-flavoured target if needed.

So if I were to try to get Maven to build for IKVM, would you see some
value in that?

Yes, it is needed for IKVM. But I was just informed that the IKVM
build is
considered an unsupported 3rd-party version.
As Tilman already said, there wasn't any descision to stop supporting
it, but as
none of the active committers uses .NET there wasn't any real support
for it.
Additionally we never shipped any official .NET binary.
There was a proposal to include the IKVM build in maven but I'm still
waiting
for some answers and I didn't find some time to test it myself.
At the moment the Ant build system seems to be a band aid preventing anyone
from bothering to figure out how to use Maven for IKVM. Let’s remove that,
because our inadequate Ant build is now causing problems from Java
developers,
as evidenced on the mailing list.

As far as I can tell, it is also needed for the TestPDFToImage junit
test.
That is the testimage target in the ant build.
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.
We still have a jenkins ant build, which works well.
Im just curious, as I build some unofficial .NET versions of PDFBox in
the past.
What PDFBox version did you build, 1.8.8 or trunk? What version of IKVM
did you
use?

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?
