[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1187) Cut dependency between pdfbox and jempbox

["Jukka Zitting (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1187?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13173351#comment-13173351 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on PDFBOX-1187:
---------------------------------------

The trouble with this is that it breaks binary compatiblity, so if we want to do this, we should then upgrade PDFBox version number to 2.x. As a first step the methods should be deprecated in a 1.x release.

Another alternative, in case we plan to deprecate JempBox in favor of XmpBox, would be to move the org.apache.jempbox code into pdfbox so we'd neither need the dependency nor break API compatibility.

> pdfbox artifact depends on jempbox only in PDMetadata class where two methods export or import XMPMetadata :
> * exportXMPMetadata
> * importXMPMetadata
> The work on serializing/unserializing could be done in the calling code without complexity (see attached patch)
> Please give opinion
