Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3576:
----------------------------------------
And if it dies this will be 3.0.0 I think as this is a breaking change. So I'd
also think that adding the getters will help short term in this case until the
new functionality is in place. As soon as this is available we can deprecate
the old classes and remove them in 3.0.0.

> Key: PDFBOX-3576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3576
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3
> Reporter: Kurt Devlin
>
> I've inherited code in my department that created a local copy of
> TextPosition and broke it's immutability. I'm trying to refactor this code
> and use the core Apache implementation and I understand the need for
> TextPosition to be immutable, but can getters be added to provide read-only
> access to the class's fields?
> We have custom code that does comparison of endX/endY values to determine if
> there are overlapping characters and other features. In our application, we
> also have a swap feature where we need to create/clone new TextPosition
> instances with minor differences between an existing TextPosition instance.
> Since there are a lot of fields that are required by the constructor of the
> new instances, but can't be read from an existing instance, we need a way to
> access these fields.
> There probably should also be an override for equals() and hashCode().
