Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-569:
------------------------------------
In revision 1044313 I modified the ServiceLoader class to parse the available
service provider files and instantiate the listed provider classes directly
instead of using the imageio ServiceRegistry class for that. This way we can
better catch and ignore load errors related to individual classes.
In revision 1044362 I added an initial version of the policy idea suggested by
Nick.
Comments welcome on both changes. We might also want to extend this to cover
the parser class loading done in the TikaConfig class when dealing with
explicitly provided tika-config.xml files.

> Currently Tika will fail to start even if a single configured parser or
> detector can not be loaded. Such cases occur often when required parser
> libraries or other dependencies are not available, and it would be good if
> Tika could degrade more gracefully in such situations.
