Hi,
If you look in launchpad/builder/src/main/bundles/list.xml you will
find the tika bundles (below) that will almost certainly export what
you need to use Tika directly. Those bundles will be in the maven
repo. If you need a different version, then just add another bundle.
If that makes Jackrabbit unstable, (unlikely), then embed it. OSGi is
good like that ;).
You can also run Tika on the command line which can be a good way of
isolating its heap usage if dealing with poorly formed PDF files.
<bundle>
<groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
<artifactId>tika-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</bundle>
<bundle>
<groupId>org.apache.tika</groupId>
<artifactId>tika-bundle</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</bundle>
