Hi,
Back to topic.
- I think we should try to focus on type safety first. More generic collections
and code cleanup.
That's a good point to start.
- The other thing is the COSWriter. Writting recursive trough the document
sounds good, but it make it hard updating existing documents incremental. A
better way is a linked list like object pool. Iterating through the list and
writting the objects is much easier than running recurisive with
cross-references and additional checks.
- a improved pdf parsing mechanic for broken documents.
This is a open source lib and with developer that work only at his free time,
this can take some time.
On the other hand we have some bugs. Implementing new features won't fix them.
I have mixed feelings and no idea what is the best for the pdfbox.
The best would be to recruit a lot more committers to get the work done,
but that's just a dream. ;-)
I'm sure that our community will grow in the long run and we'll get more
helping hands to get things done.
Looking at some bigger projects like eclipse 3.x to 4.x which in my opinion,
mess up the ide. Unfixed bugs, more new bugs and a rewritten lazy framework.
I don't know, but when we start i think the first point will be a good entry
with the "type safety".
Best regards
