Re: Problem building Tika with the latest POI (3.7)

Sorry if this is confusing.

I built a POI 3.7(has bug fix) myself and was able to build Tika against it
from local repository.
The only problem I have during building of Tika was that tika-parsers test
would fail, so I executed  "mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true" and
succeeded in building parser.

But when I tried to "mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true" under Tika root dir
only 8M+of tika-app-0.5.jar generated which was different than just "mvn
install" yet they both seemed to function well.

So I just wonder what has been left out from this smaller jar, test cases or
all the external dependent jars? If the latter, how it runs differently
compare to jar generated after "mvn install".
I hope I made myself clear.

Thanks,
