Upgrade .Net build to use IKVM version 0.42 - Opinions wanted
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-675
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-675
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Daniel Wilson
Assignee: Daniel Wilson
Priority: Minor
The current .Net build script (ant build.NET) is for IKVM 0.38, released 15
months ago.
Since that time, IKVM has grown to support a larger portion of the Java object
model. I am currently investigating the possibility of improved font support,
as our IKVM-compiled version crashes if PDType1CFont.prepareAWTFont is called.
The downside of the upgrade will be loss of support for the .Net 1.1 Framework.
In my opinion, that is not a big deal as very few projects still rely on it.
I welcome opinions before committing any changes.
