Issue and PR management in order to create a new release

[johnmanko]

Just looking to get @dhorions's attention here. We really need some changes on this project. :)

PR #247 (fix: #233, #236, #237, #239, #241, #246) addresses the following issues and PRs, and should be merged:

• Bump pdfbox from 2.0.21 to 2.0.24 #233 (PR)
• Remove Guava as a compile dependency #236 (ISS)
• Fix issue #236 make guava test dep #237 (PR)
• Bump jsoup from 1.9.2 to 1.14.2 #239 (PR)
• Dependency org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox, leading to CVE problem #241 (ISS)
• Remove guava dependency #246 (ISS)

PR #224 (Bugfix216) should be merged, as it fixes #216 (> is replaced with > in the Inner Table with boxable)

PR #234 ( Issue #120: Add support for setting hyperlink URL on a Cell) fixes issue #120

PR #106 (Add license information to the pom.xml) and Issue #231 (Boxable jar may not be Apache 2 licensed) need reconciliation, as they both deal with Apache 2.0 licensing.

PR #151 (Table class overhauled, main package cleaned up.) looks like a great candidate.

@dhorions Would you like to transfer this project to me so I can start merging pull requests? Also, I'd like to do a maven release.

Hello @johnmanko,

You are right , I haven't been giving this project the attention it deserves . Can we talk about this on a call? What works for you and how can I reach you best?

[johnmanko]

@dhorions I don't see a way to communicate privately through Github, so I guess I'll have to create a temporary email address to exchange numbers. I'll do that this weekend and update this issue with that info.

Thanks for getting back to me.

PR #247 fixed with 943e453

I'd also like to review #98

The more dependencies that can be removed, the better. And perhaps changing pdfbox/etc to provided will provide more flexibility to users.
