Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-728:
-----------------------------------
> Why LGPL is troublesome?
The LGPL works as intended for C code, but is troublesome for languages like
Java. See http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/Using_LGPL'd_code and the current
draft of the third party license policy at
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html for more details.
It could be possible for us to introduce a limited LGPL dependency if there's
no reasonable alternative (see the conditions on the Jakarta wiki), but I don't
think jmimemagic is essential enough to justify such trouble. This is also the
reason why we can't release the Hibernate persistence manager we currently have
in the contrib directory.
> I know this is a POI issue, but is this project abandoned?
I've seen some activity there, but I don't know the exact status of the
project. The latest Jakarta board report mentioned some conflict over the
status of POI, but I hope that's been cleared. It would be nice if we didn't
have to start looking for an alternative.

> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: indexing
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently only the jcr:mimeType property is used to determine the MIME type
> and thus the applicable text extractor to use for indexing a document. If the
> jcr:mimeType property is not available or is set to a generic value like
> "application/octet-stream", then the indexer could also use some heuristics
> based on the node name or magic numbers within the binary stream to determine
> the type of the document.
