@avinxshKD would you be interested in applying the same to some of the other Java Libraries?

@Stefterv Sure, I can take a look at those.

Breakdown looks like this:

• PDF: Good to go. It already has the Gradle setup, just needs the publishing block.

• Net / SVG: Need to be fully ported from Ant to Gradle first, but otherwise straightforward.

• Serial / IO: These are harder because of the native libs/JARs. We'll need to figure out how to package those correctly for Maven so we don't break cross-platform support.

One catch on this PR: build.gradle.kts lists implementation("com.lowagie:itext:2.1.7"). pretty sure that's a copy-paste error from the PDF library? DXF shouldn't depend on iText.

Great! Just make individual PR's for each package starting with the easiest.

And thanks for catching the dependency!

@Stefterv now that the action has been updated (#1401) , would it be a big lift to rebase this onto main? Or actually would a pulling in the changes from main suffice?

Trying with a rebase on this and the PR before

@Stefterv @catilac

working on Serial and IO libraries now. PR coming soon. :)

Using the same coordinates as PDF/Net/SVG does that look right for consistency? @Stefterv

Yes, org.processing.core.serial and org.processing.core.io please
