Core library

  • added support for Java 17
  • added support for Java Platform Module System (JPMS)

CAUTION: the JPMS support required moving several classes into different packages:

  • org.verapdf.pdfa.PdfBoxFoundry -> org.verapdf.pdfbox.foundry.PdfBoxFoundry
  • org.verapdf.pdfa.PdfBoxFoundryProvider -> org.verapdf.pdfbox.foundry.PdfBoxFoundryProvider
  • org.verapdf.pdfa.VeraFoundry -> org.verapdf.gf.foundry.VeraFoundry
  • org.verapdf.pdfa.VeraGreenfieldFoundryProvider -> org.verapdf.gf.foundry/VeraGreenfieldFoundryProvider

These changes need to be applied to any Java source code that integrates veraPDF API as a Java library.
