mmoorebz writes: After three years of development and with over 150 contributors to the code, Apache PDFBox 2.0 has been released. With this release comes enhancements and improvements. The Apache PDFBox library is an open-source Java tool for working with PDF documents. The project allows creation and manipulation of PDF documents, and the ability to extract content from them. Support for forms in open-source PDF viewers is currently disappointing, and I hope this heralds improvement on that front.

This is all true ... 15 years ago. Seriously dude, time to wake up. Java is not the right tool for everything but there is a huge problem space for which it is ideal. The continuing popularity of the language proves it.
