Description

We consume PDFBox in the Apache Sling project and recently attempted to upgrade to 3.0.0 . Sling uses OSGi and a new required import appeared in the 3.0.0 bundles: sun.java2d.cmm.kcms . Our PR is at https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-starter/pull/212 .

This prevents us from on applying the update. I looked at the desired usage for kcms and it seems like it is an optional feature.

I suspect this addition was triggered by a version update of the maven-bundle-plugin, which added support for transforming "Class.forName" calls as OSGi package imports - https://bnd.bndtools.org/instructions/noclassforname.html .

I would suggest that this import is removed by disabling the specified bnd instruction.
