iText-2.1.5.jar is included in the 1.0.14 Distro.
Anyone know why?
Can't find anything in the 1.0.x Branch that uses it.
Its a bit long in the tooth (current version being 5.3.0)
so wouldn't it be an idea just to drop it completely?
Why is iText-2.1.5.jar in 1.0.14 Distro?

The demo application makes use of it (you can export any of the demo charts to PDF).
More recent versions of iText are no longer licensed under the LGPL (I believe it is AGPL now) which is why we've retained the old version. But JFreeChart itself has no dependency on iText, only the demo application, so it should not be a big concern to anyone.

Maybe you could put a note to that effect in the README.txt
or, better still, just distribute it with the Demo?
Makes for less clutter & confusion in big Web projects...

Sure. I thought it was mentioned in the README.txt but I'll double check.
