I did do an `svn update` for the book on:
Tue Apr 26 06:07:03 CDT 2011
as shown here:
~/prog_dev/itext/book $ svn update
U pom.xml
Updated to revision 4813.
However, I guess that needs to be repeated.

Yes, however, the examples.xml did have entries such as:
<target name="part4.chapter15">
<echo message="PeekABoo" />
<java fork="yes" classname="part4.chapter15.PeekABoo">
<jvmarg value="-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252"/>
and the classname= entry did give me a hint about what to substitute
for com.foo.bar.Main in the command:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.foo.bar.Main"
shown in this post:
http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/Where-to-find-jar-files-for-iText-examples-tp3466477p3467716.html
This was more helpful than the page:
http://www.itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=264
which just contains:
If you compile and execute this example,
you'll get the following result:
which assumes the reader knows how to compile and execute the
example. I know that one must use javac to compile and java to
run; however, it's not clear what classpath to supply, and that
is what the ant file or the mvn takes care of, I assume.
BTW, browsing the rups directory shows a readme.txt there containing:
--{--readme.txt--
Running a maven build without profile will just build the jar.
Running the build with profiles:
profile name build actions
all generate jar, jar with dependencies in it, sources
jar, javadoc jar
exe create a windows exe to run Rups
--}--readme.txt--
Which was what I was looking for. I didn't know what a 'profile' was,
but then looking the the pom.xml showed:
--{--pom.xml part--
<profile>
<id>all</id>
<build>
<plugins>
--}--pom.xml part--
So, I guess a profile is just a section of a pom.xml file enclosed
in tags, <profile></profile>. Could there be a profile which
runs all the examples; thereby eliminating the need for examples.xml?
