can't build tika because ExcelParserTest and OOXMLParserTest fails

[Ruben Laguna]

Hi,

I tried to build tika 0.6 with mvn install and two testcases fails (which
prevents the build from completing)

  testExcelParserFormatting(org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ExcelParserTest)
  testExcelFormats(org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.OOXMLParserTest)

I took a look to testExcelParserFormatting and it fails on the first assert
assertTrue(content.contains("1,599.99"));

because contens contains "1.599,99" and not "1,599.99" I suspect that this
is due to the fact that in my locale (swedish) the number formatting is
different.

Is there anyway to fix this? Actually I not really interested  in Excel at
all, so I wouldn't mind to disable the excel parser altogether. is this
possible?
