Yes, I guess we can still use Jira - but at least document
what patches we are hoping will be integrated into 3rd party
libs down the track. Unfortunately, pdfbox has many bugs and
only very slow progress to fixing them even when patches are
supplied. But I don't know of anything to replace it with yet.
JPedal would be good but it is GPL which is effectively useless
for us.
