[jira] Updated: (PDFBOX-648) PdfBox can't be buit from behind a firewall/proxy

["David Horwitz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

David Horwitz updated PDFBOX-648:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
The pdfBox maven build uses ant to fetch resources remotely rather than use maven methods for this. The ant script doesn't respect the maven proxy settings so the script can't be used behind a firewall. This requires explicit proxy settings in the MAVEN_OPTS:

export MAVEN_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=my.proxyhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"

as this is not the maven way it may confuse many who try to build the source

  was:
The pdfBox maven build uses ant to fetch resources remotely rather than use maven methods for this. This has some negative effects:

1) the ant script doesn't respect the maven proxy settings so the script can't be used behind a firewall.
2) The files are downloaded whether or not local copies exist which is ineficient
