> We should consider to remove the Shockwafe Flash parser plugin
> ([parse-swf|https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/master/src/plugin/parse-swf]):
> - Shockwave/[Adobe Flash| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash] reached
> [end-of-life|https://helpx.adobe.com/shockwave/shockwave-end-of-life-faq.html]
> - major browsers now block playing Flash content
> - the plugin is based on 15-year old library
> ([javaswf|https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/master/src/plugin/parse-swf/lib]),
> not maintained anymore and not available on Maven repository
> - it's shipped in binary form also in the source package which contradicts
> the [Apache release
> policy|https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#source-packages]
> Notes:
> - should place a notice about the removal in the release not, as parse-tika
> is not able to extract textual content from *.swf files
> - do not forget to unregister the plugin in
> [parse-plugins.xml|https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/6c02da053d8ce65e0283a144ab59586e563608b8/conf/parse-plugins.xml.template#L54]
