> We want to refactor the core pdfbox module packages so that there is no longer a dependency on AWT. Any packages which are moved outside the of the org.apache.pdfbox module need to be re-packaged appropriately (e.g. org.apache.pdfbox.rendering).
> AWT code could live in "pdfbox-rendering" but we need to think carefully about how to do this because, e.g. some of the Filters use AWT, as does FontBox.
> What are the use cases for modularisation, currently we have:
> - Android
> - Google App Engine
> Android seems to have some support for AWT and ImageIO, can somebody in the know provide more information?
> Google App Engine seems to blacklist ImageIO and AWT classes. Is there a strong desire to support it?
