Pdfbox maven plugin for ikvm

[Michal Zatkalik <Mi...@msg-systems.com>]

Hello,

I adjusted and extended a maven plugin generating dlls using ikvm for the entire pdfbox project for each component. It has to be only included in the root pom.xml of the pdfbox project simply by adding the following code after installing the plugin.

<plugin>
       <groupId>com.mz</groupId>
       <artifactId>pdfbox-ikvm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>1.0</version>
       <!-- this lets Maven know that we define 'packaging: dll' -->
       <extensions>true</extensions>
       <configuration>
             <ikvmArgs>
             </ikvmArgs>
             <!-- these are additional referenced DLLs (beyond mscorlib, System and System.Core) -->
             <dlls>
             </dlls>
       </configuration>
</plugin>

The plugin can be checked out of https://github.com/MichalZatka/pdfbox-ikvm-maven-plugin. I wanted to propose to integrate this plugin in the pdfbox distribution or at least to discuss this idea.

That's a good idea.

Your plugin seems to be a fork of the IKVM Maven plugin [1] provided by Michael
Bayne. What did you change or improve? I'm asking because the origin plugin is
available in maven central and yours not, so that we would have to handle it
somehow ourself.
