Release Notes -- Apache JempBox -- Version 1.0.0

Introduction
------------

Apache JempBox is an open source Java library for working with XMP metadata.

This 1.0.0 release is the first JempBox release made after the graduation from
incubating at the Apache Software Foundation. The most notable changes since the
previous release (0.8.0-incubating) are the upgrade to Java 5 and the switch 
from ant to maven as build tool.

See the Apache PDFBox website at http://pdfbox.apache.org/ for more information.

This release consists of a source archive (jempbox-1.0.0-src.jar).
You can build the release with Apache Maven like this:

     jar xf jempbox-1.0.0-src.jar
