Jukka Zitting resolved PDFBOX-387.
----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 0.8.0-incubator
         Assignee: Jukka Zitting

Thanks! I committed the updated POM files in revision 718459.

In revision 718464 I made some further improvements like SNAPSHOT versions, org.apache.pdfbox groupId, the Apache parent POM, better dependency scopes, etc.

The main purpose of the POM files in PDFBox is to serve as Maven metadata when deploying releases to the central Maven repository. An additional benefit is that the POMs make it easier to set up the project in many IDEs.

The normal build is based on Ant, and building with Maven is not supported. Perhaps we should add some big warning (or even an error) to the Maven build to discourage people from using Maven for other than the purposes listed above.

> I checked out the pdfbox trunk code from svn.apache.org and tried using Maven to compile the project.  It simply did not work.   
> The two pom.xml files (pdfbox, fontbox) in Subversion are incomplete and jempbox library doesn't event have a pom.xml file.
> I created a pom.xml file for jempbox and edited the other two (pdfbox, fontbox) pom.xml files.
> I am attaching 3 pom.xml files to this issue.   Please review these files and commit to svn.apache.org
