Is there any convention to be followed yet in terms of naming of such a

I'm not sure we do, though I think Jukka in particular does have some
ideas on a longer term plan for that sort of thing
One thing that may affect the placement is that I don't think we can
distribute ExifTool itself because of the license. Luckily because we use
ExifTool as a command line program, rather than as a library, we're not as
affected. I think it may come under:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#optional
We're likely to have a similar thing with FFMpeg (which Albretch Mueller
is looking at), as that's either LGPL or GPL depending on your build
options.
What do people think about where to put Tika Parsers which are wrappers
around command line tools (where the parent project is unlikely to be
interested). The parsers subproject itself? Another subproject? Apache
Extras?
