Hi Richard,

if understood right parse-tika does the job well?
Extract content + all links including anchor texts?

1. The plugin "parse-tika" seems indeed better maintained
than "feed".

2. plugin feed is special as it treats a rss file as
 - one master document (the rss file)
 - many sub-documents (the links, each with title, description)
   but these are "stored" in ParseResult by the link URL.
   Try parsechecker: it will show one ParseResult for each
   RSS item.

The concept of sub-documents might be useful (e.g., also for zip files)
but has the disadvantage that sub-document URLs are either artificial
or duplicate real URLs. And to be honest, I don't know whether sub-documents
"work" in recent Nutch versions.

Why not simply disable plugin "feed" by removing it from property 
"plugin.includes"?
