I really think tika should include the parts of icu4j it depends on. Often open source projects are hesitant to include icu jar because of its size, but thats silly since the size is just a catch-all. We can use the webapp to make a smaller one that includes the minimum of stuff Tika needs. http://apps.icu-project.org/datacustom/ Maybe we should open a JIRA issue to fix this? I think its a bug that Arabic and Persian text silently come out corrupted if you don't have this in your classpath. -- lucidimagination.com
