Improved module structure
-------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-544
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-544
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: FontBox
Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
Reporter: Villu Ruusmann
The development and maintenance of font formats would be easier if the FontBox
project would be modularized so that every font format is contained in a
separate sub-module. Consider different requirements for build- and/or run-time
dependencies, Java language features, release schedule etc.
Since FontBox uses Maven2 as its software project management and comprehension
tool, the modularization activity itself is pretty straightforward:
*) Change the current /pom.xml to proper parent POM.
*) For every subdirectory under /src/main/java/org/apache/fontbox create a
separate subdirectory, create a child POM file into it and copy over all the
relevant files.
*) Establish module interdependencies. For example, the 'ttf' sub-module would
depend on 'cmap' and 'encoding' sub-modules, the 'cff' sub-module would depend
on 'afm' sub-module and so on. There doesn't seem to be any blocking cyclic
interdependencies.
