Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1445:
----------------------------------
I wonder if it wouldn't be better to do the "is tessaract there" check in the
`getSupportedTypes` method? That way, if tessaract can't be found, then the
main composite parser (eg AutoDetectParser, if being used) would just skip over
the Tessarct one, and fall back to the Jpeg or Image one as appropriate
We could then do an additional check at parse time, in case of a direct call to
the parser.
I'll have a go at working that up shortly
Oh, and the fallback parser you've come up with looks much neater than mine :)
