Remove ant build?
Based on discussions on the users lists, it looks like our ant build doesn’t actually produce working builds of PDFBox. I think we should remove the ant build in 2.0, we don’t need two build systems, and clearly none of us are maintaining it.
WDYT?

There have been people asking about IKVM on the mailing list or on
stackoverflow from time to time. One problem is that there is no
official IKVM build, and the inoffcial build (by Andreas) is outdated.

That TestPDFToImage is excluded by default makes sense for the reasons
stated. I love the improvements you've made to it, though! I knew when I
added it so many years ago that there had to be a better way to compare the
images than I was doing, but I couldn't find it.
And it has been several years since I've been an active committer. It
wasn't too long after the project came over from SourceForge to Apache that
it was doing well enough that my employer didn't want to pay me for more
work on it. And ... I didn't get to it much on my own time.
Now, I built version 2.0.0 (trunk) to a JAR yesterday using ant. With a
bit of manual fetching of dependencies, that worked pretty well. And maybe
if I'd understood the maven actions within the ant build file better, I
could have tweaked it to get it to do it automaticly. It really looks like
it's very close to being correct.
In January, I built version 1.8.8 to .Net using IKVM 7.4. Actually ...
using my own fork of IKVM v7.4, not because I needed to add stuff to IKVM
to get the build but because I needed it to run my subclassed PageDrawer
later on. My fork is at https://github.com/BlackLocust/ikvm/tree/v7.4 and
it really has minimal changes from standard IKVM 7.4.
Because you have made so many rendering improvements in 2.0, I am working
now on getting it to compile using IKVM. Subclassing PageDrawer is what's
not supported ... so ... I'll be making more changes to my IKVM fork to be
able to render in .Net.
If there's interest in continuing to support the ant build, at least in the
interest of the IKVM version, I would be happy to merge my build file
changes back.

That would of course be the best, as it would mean only one build
system, and still allow to create an IKVM-flavoured target if needed.

Excellent! I'm working on it and on some instructions regarding what
plugin to add and how to configure it.

At the moment the Ant build system seems to be a band aid preventing anyone
from bothering to figure out how to use Maven for IKVM. Let’s remove that,
because our inadequate Ant build is now causing problems from Java developers,
as evidenced on the mailing list.

As Tilman already said, there wasn't any descision to stop supporting it, but as
none of the active committers uses .NET there wasn't any real support for it.
Additionally we never shipped any official .NET binary.
There was a proposal to include the IKVM build in maven but I'm still waiting
for some answers and I didn't find some time to test it myself.

We still have a jenkins ant build, which works well.
Im just curious, as I build some unofficial .NET versions of PDFBox in the past.
What PDFBox version did you build, 1.8.8 or trunk? What version of IKVM did you
use?

The TestPDFToImage is excluded from the build, probably because it
produces different results depending on the java version, installed
fonts, etc. However I have been using the test for quite some time to
find regressions, and made many improvements in it in the trunk (for
example, a diff image is produced). I currently have (locally) 480 PDF
files and their renderings. It is the most important regression testing
tool for rendering. It has detected many regessions.
Re IKVM - I don't remember any decision that it is no longer supported.
It's rather that (apparently) none of the very active committers uses it.

Shouldn't there be some appropriate error message? Btw what version did
work yesterday - the 1.8 or the 2.0 version? The person having the
problems was using 2.0. But he wasn't using IKVM.

Yes, it is needed for IKVM. But I was just informed that the IKVM build is
considered an unsupported 3rd-party version.
As far as I can tell, it is also needed for the TestPDFToImage junit test.
That is the testimage target in the ant build.
Btw, I DID get the ant build to produce a working version of PDFBox
yesterday. I simply needed to download the appropriate binaries from the
maven repo.

I've never used it.
Isn't it needed for the users of IKVM ?
