+To support XMP metadata the xmpbox component is needed.

+### Include Dependencies using Maven
+To add the pdfbox, fontbox, xmpbox and commons-logging jars to your application, the easiest thing is to declare the Maven dependency shown below. This gives you the main pdfbox library directly and the other required jars as transitive dependencies.

 ## Optional components
 
 PDFBox does not ship with all features enabled. Third party components are necessary to get full support for certain functionality.

 256-bit AES encryption requires a JDK with "unlimited strength" cryptography, which requires extra files to be installed. For JDK 7, see [Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html). If these files are not installed, building PDFBox will throw an exception with the following message:

+## Dependencies for Ant builds
+
+The above instructions expect that you're using [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) or another build tool like
+[Ivy](http://ant.apache.org/ivy/) that supports Maven dependencies.
+If you instead use tools like [Ant](http://ant.apache.org/) where you need to explicitly include all the required
+library jars in your application, you'll need to do something different.
+
+The easiest approach is to run ``mvn dependency:copy-dependencies`` inside the pdfbox directory of the latest PDFBox
+source release. This will copy all the required and optional libraries discussed above into the pdfbox/target/dependencies
+directory. You can then simply copy all the libraries you need from this directory to your application.
