[jira] Created: (NUTCH-724) Drop the JAI libraries

Drop the JAI libraries
----------------------

                 Key: NUTCH-724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-724
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jukka Zitting
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.0.0


The PDF parser plugin contains Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) libraries (jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar) that are licensed under the Sun Binary Code License. The license is incompatible with Apache policies, so we need to drop those libraries.

AFAIK (see PDFBOX-381) PDFBox only uses the JAI libraries for handling page rotations and tiff images, so simply dropping the JAI jars shouldn't have too much impact. A better solution would be to switch to using Apache PDFBox that has a proper workaround for this issue, but the first Apache PDFBox release has not yet been made.
