System.err in PdfBoxGraphics2DFontTextDrawer

[pmds-martins]

Hello, my name is Pedro Martins and I'm here to report what I think is a bug.

I noticed that in the PdfBoxGraphics2DFontTextDrawer class of the de.rototor.pdfbox.graphics2d package, an error is being printed using System.err instead of creating an error entry through a logger.

Here is the line of code:

pdfbox-graphics2d/graphics2d/src/main/java/de/rototor/pdfbox/graphics2d/PdfBoxGraphics2DFontTextDrawer.java

Line 415 in cbc3c45

System.err.println("PDFBoxGraphics: Can not map text " + text + " with font "

Well this tells the developer why he won't see a text at all. Using SL4J would be nicer here, but I won't pull in this dependency without any pressing need. I see no reason to suppress this error.

Hello rototor,

You don't need to use SL4J, you can use a Logger from java logging framework.
Actually it's very important for me to have a logger when this exception is thrown.

Best regards

I wont have time for that in the near future. But feel free to provide a PullRequest.

I assume you need a new released version soon?

[pmds-martins]

Yes :)

I've just released version 0.43. Should show up very soon on maven central.

There seems to be some issues with the sonatype repository. I did the release:perform and all seemed to work. I also got a Lift Review but it did at least for now not yet show up in maven central.
