Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-544.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler

I agree with Jukka and as there were no other reasons to split fontbox in separate moduls I close this issue.

I can be reopened if necessary.

> The development and maintenance of font formats would be easier if the FontBox project would be modularized so that every font format is contained in a separate sub-module. Consider different requirements for build- and/or run-time dependencies, Java language features, release schedule etc.
> Since FontBox uses Maven2 as its software project management and comprehension tool, the modularization activity itself is pretty straightforward:
> *) Change the current /pom.xml to proper parent POM.
> *) For every subdirectory under /src/main/java/org/apache/fontbox create a separate subdirectory, create a child POM file into it and copy over all the relevant files.
> *) Establish module interdependencies. For example, the 'ttf' sub-module would depend on 'cmap' and 'encoding' sub-modules, the 'cff' sub-module would depend on 'afm' sub-module and so on. There doesn't seem to be any blocking cyclic interdependencies.
