2- We used to ship itext with xml support. This part of the code was
not in the itext-2.1.7 tree but we had ported this over from a 1.x
release [1]. I am not familiar with this part of the code and I was
told that this add-on was needed by maven. Is this still valid?
The issue is, itext-5.0.0+ dropped some other part of its code, which
our xml patch was depending on. In particular, the rtf support of
itext moved to a separate project [2]
Coincidentally, I'm actually playing around with building the newest
maven-doxia stuff at the moment, and it looks like it does still
require the XML classes. According to its pom.xml, it is still
assuming itext 1.4, so I guess that's where the requirement comes
from. I'm not sure whether it needs the rtf stuff too ...
So I think we do need to keep the XML stuff but I'm not sure about the
rtf stuff.
