Jukka Zitting commented on PDFBOX-391:
--------------------------------------
Re: automatically downloaded
It would be better if the user had to explicitly request these test files by
running "ant get.testfiles" before building the project. If the user didn't do
that, then the relevant tests would simply not run.
The licensing of these files is quite unclear, so I'd prefer if people had to
explicitly decide to want them instead of them being automatically downloaded
by PDFBox as a part of the normal build process.

> Key: PDFBOX-391
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-391
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.8.0-incubator

> One issue raised by the license review (PDFBOX-366) is the status of the
> various test PDF files included in the test directory. Many of these don't
> seem to come with a license that would permit redistribution within an Apache
> project, so our only option seems to be to remove or replace the files before
> we can make the first Apache release.
> The full list of potentially (I haven't looked at all of these in detail so
> some might be OK for us to keep) troublesome test files is:

> My suggestion is that (in line with PDFBOX-368) we create a new
> src/test/resources directory where we move all reviewed and accepted test
> cases. Once all these files have been reviewed, we just drop the remaining
> ones for which an acceptable license could not be found. It would be nice if
> replacements could be created for such test cases, but in some cases (special
> PDF constructs, etc.) that might be a bit troublesome so I guess we'll just
> need to live with some reduction in test coverage due to this.
