Patched JPedal based on the last official JPedal version 4.92

JPedal - Open Source PDF Viewer

To fullfill the obligations of the LGPL license and since the original source of JPedal ist not available anymore: Here is a fork of the last official [JPedal PDF library] which integrates contributions and bug fixes to the latest available open source version 4.92. Since the author removed the LGPL JPedal version from sourceforge completely (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpedal) this page may also act as a reference.

It is worth mentioning that there is a JavaFX version of JPedal called OpenViewerFX also published under LGPL. The code is coming from its JPedal roots but the Swing/AWT GUI has been replaced with JavaFX.

If you would like to contribute you are welcome to do so - just create an issue (with an attached patch) or do a pull request and it will be integrated. This is however no bug reporting or "please fix my bugs" place - for that head over to the JPedal support forum or to Stackoverflow.

Please note that for a sucessfull maven build the local maven .settings configuration needs to be connected to a (central) maven repository.
