Hello TIKA community, My team has been having some problems installing TIKA on CentOS in support of a Apache Solr/Durpal project.
Here are the facts as layout to me by a colleague: In theory, a Tika install simply requires us to run "mvn install" (a Maven install). In practice, it fails. When installing it tries to Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus/1.0.8/plexus-1.0.8.pom. That .pom file exists (I can view it in Firefox), but that's just a summary file with information on where to *actually* get the code. It says it's "Downloading" but it never manages to complete and say it's "Downloaded". I think this is it having trouble *getting* the actual 1.0.8 code. Although it's not *exactly* the same process they use, I did quick browse of https://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/plexus/pom/branches and the oldest available in 1.0.9. A quick look at /root/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus/1.0.8/ shows that it's an empty directory (other directories aren't empty). This is probably something that needs to be reported to the Tika developers; the current developers will have a cached copy on their systems, and thus wouldn't normally see this problem. I did some poking around on the web but was unable to find another source for the plexus-1.0.8 data. If anyone can think of a different approach we might use; or source for plexus-1.0.8; or just point us in the right directions, that would be terrific. Thank you. Matt Coursey
