XMPCore for Debian
==================
It seems there is some confusion on the actual version of XMPCore:
* The source zip is named XMP-Core-JAVA-CS6.zip but the version in the
build.xml file is 5.1.0.
* The previous version (5.1.2) of the SDK available on the Adobe
XMP page [1] has also a version set to 5.1.0 in its build.xml.
The source code is slightly different from the one in the CS6
archive (less methods and a couple of different return types).
* As of may 2013 there are 3 versions of xmpcore deployed on the
Maven central repository: 5.1.0, 5.1.1 and 5.1.2. They all have
the same classes and the same method signatures, which are also
the ones from the CS6 archive. The binary compatibility has been
verified with Clirr and the Java API Compliance Checker.
Since this package is primarily destined to be used as a Maven artifact and
in order to remain consistent with the state of the Maven central repository
I decided to use the version 5.1.2 instead of 6.0.0 for this package. Let's
hope this mess will be cleared in a future update of the Adobe toolkit.
