glyphlist.txt not available - what's the intended usage scenario?

Hi,

I'm still trying to convert a pdf to an image using the PDFImageWriter,
now I got an ExceptionInInitializerError at
  EncodingManager.<clinit>(EncodingManager.java:38)
with this root cause:
  Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.io.Reader.<init>(Reader.java:61)
        at java.io.InputStreamReader.<init>(InputStreamReader.java:55)
        at org.apache.pdfbox.encoding.Encoding.loadGlyphList(Encoding.java:95)

This code tries to loadGlyphList("Resources/glyphlist.txt") which is not
available, it's also not in pdfbox/src/main/resources...

I also found http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-494 and now I
wonder what users are intended to do. Just download the glyphlist.txt
from adobe and make it available under Resources/glyphlist.txt? (I can
confirm that this works :))

Btw: the userguide/text extraction still says that pdfbox comes with the
adobe glyphlist - is this still true then?

Cheers,
Martin

Ah, I just did an mvn install. Now I ran ant clean compile and the
glyphlist is there.

Thanx && cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,

because of some some restrictions in the license the glyphlist.txt isn't
compatible with the Apache License. Therefore we have to remove the
files in question from the svn. The file will be automatically
downloaded by ant if you run it with the target "compile" or just with
default target "dist". The destination directory is
$PDFBOX_HOME/target/classes/Resources.
I hope the documentation will be updated soon...

Thanks for the hint.
