Drop the JAI libraries
----------------------
Key: NUTCH-724
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-724
Project: Nutch
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.0.0
The PDF parser plugin contains Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) libraries
(jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar) that are licensed under the Sun Binary Code
License. The license is incompatible with Apache policies, so we need to drop
those libraries.
AFAIK (see PDFBOX-381) PDFBox only uses the JAI libraries for handling page
rotations and tiff images, so simply dropping the JAI jars shouldn't have too
much impact. A better solution would be to switch to using Apache PDFBox that
has a proper workaround for this issue, but the first Apache PDFBox release has
not yet been made.
