Description Sandro Bonazzola 2015-05-07 14:47:46 UTC 
In the build process we're requiring avalon-framework 4.3.1.
Apache Avalon was closed down in 2004[1] being replaced by Apache Excalibur.
Apache Excalibur moved into the Attic in December 2010[2].

Being apache-framework an unmaintained project, please try to replace it with a more recent and maintained library.

I see it is used in jsonrpc (Piotr will clear that for 3.6).
However, it was also introduced by gluster, in commit 81565fe5.

Moving this bug to gluster, and opening another one on jsonrpc.

I think we added this for the export to pdf feature of volume profile.
I'm not sure if this feature is used currently. If needed, we need to replace the fop pdf generation library with pdfbox or similar.

Ramesh, can u take a look?

Sahina, You are right. this came as a dependency for apache fop. I don't understand why still fop is depending on avalon framework. May be as you have suggested, we can move to apache pdfbox.

Either that or remove pdf generation as mentioned in Bug 1362110. Targeting this for 4.1
Comment 5 Sahina Bose 2016-12-15 13:39:04 UTC 
Removed the fop dependency
Comment 6 SATHEESARAN 2017-04-05 09:48:19 UTC 
This bug is already verified as part of another bug 1362472
