[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-2107) Make PDFBox XMP library agnostic

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14053651#comment-14053651 ] 

MH commented on PDFBOX-2107:
----------------------------

It took me a while to figure out why suddenly those 2 methods are "deprecated". Would you please add a full Javadoc explanation HOW it shoul dbe replaced? The Javadoc/SOurce of org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.PDMetadata just says

Deprecated

That's all. If you deprecate a method/class you should always give a link/explanation why it is deprecated and how it can be replaced.

So, the reason is this tikcte PDFBOX-2107, right? And what's the equivalent replacement using the new xmpbox.jar?

> PDFBox should become agnostic to how XMP metadata has been generated. This will also remove the dependency on Jempbox.
> The benefit will be that Jembox, Xmpbox as well as other libraries could be used for generating the XMP metadata. PDFBox will only provide methods to get and set the XMP metadata.
