Uwe Schindler commented on TIKA-1080:
-------------------------------------
In any case, I don't think the TIKA server should be dependent on the default
locale/charset! A server-side application like the TIKA server schould in any
case parse input and send output in a well-defined charset (e.g., UTF-8).
Otherwise clients of the TIKA server app need knowledge of the default encoding
on the server.
I would recommend to make TIKA completely locale/charset/... independent. In
Lucene we have a ANT plugin, checking the bytecode of all our classes, that
they don't use any methods that depend on default charsets. Recently (this
week), I forked this plugin into a separate Google Code project and it is now
useable by ANT or Maven: https://code.google.com/p/forbidden-apis/ and the
corresponding blog entry
http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/default-locales-default-charsets-and.html
I would strongly suggest to add the Maven Mojo (available via Maven central).
There needs to be some update on the webpage with usage instructions, but I can
provide a patch.
