JavaStale
Data-extraction application that converts PDF files into XML, built on an old snapshot of the JPedal library rather than being independently maintained. An abandoned, CVS/SourceForge-era project with no development activity since — kept here for completeness rather than as a recommended active tool, since Poppler's own `pdftohtml -xml` and similar actively-maintained tools now cover the same ground more reliably.
LGPL-licensed. Reportedly untouched since 2003 with no documentation or released files, CVS-only; one independent build report found it threw a NumberFormatException on the first test PDF. Included for completeness, but unverified as functional — Poppler's own pdftohtml -xml output is a far more reliable choice for this use case.
